May 9-13: the goodies in your first share

Next week we begin!
If you're a CSA member, I hope you've received our email alerting you that Tuesday 5/9, Wednesday 5/10 and Saturday 5/13 are the first pick-up days for our CSA.  If you didn't receive it, TELL US, because we also included a member handbook with lots of information we want to give you to start the season.

Here's what we hope to have in your first share:
A selection of lettuce, spinach, young kale and collards, and baby mustard mix.  We have small amounts of arugula, tat soi and asparagus, so you will probably get an option of one of those, and then the others in future weeks. 
We'll also have popcorn and dried chiles from last year, tomato, pepper and basil seedlings, garlic scallions and some herbs (including oregano,  mint and anise hyssop).

The spring is an exciting taste of things to come, but never as abundant as summer and fall.  We had the choice of saving half our harvest for the following week, or picking it all at once for one larger share.  We chose the latter, since sometimes our customers tell us they don't want to drive to the farm for a small amount of food.  So we will NOT harvest the week of May 16-20.  We're skipping a week to let your greens re-grow and we'll start again May 23rd.  By the time you come back, we'll have strawberries!
