Share contents: 2 pints of strawberries, 1 bunch of red scallions, 1 bunch green garlic, 1 bunch carrots, 2 heads of lettuce, 1 bunch of kale, 1/2 pound Chinese broccoli.
The strawberries are waning but we have some for you this week! As it heats up out here the squash is starting to ripen and cucumbers are blooming. There are a few tomatoes starting to show on the plants and the corn is germinating. Yeehaw! Now, though I can’t believe I’m saying it, we could use a little rain.
