Goodbye Peas & Strawbs, Hello Cukes & Zukes

Harvest #6 (Week B) should include beets, head lettuce, romaine lettuce, garlic scapes, cucumbers, yellow and green zucchini, hakurei turnips, fennel, radicchio, kale, chard, Italian dandelion, endive, cilantro, dill, and parsley. U-pick will probably only include herbs this week as we wait on raspberries and beans to ripen and mature.

A pick up room board note: When we write, for example, "1 lb total combined weight from:" we mean you may take up to 1 pound total from the listed options which could be 1 lb of a single listed item or any combination of the listed items totaling 1 pound.

A pea note: The snow and snap pea crops suffered this year. It was the worst production in our 11-year tenure for sure. We are certain it was due to the early onset of pea root rot which is caused by organisms in the soil or potting mix or even compost (Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, or Aphanomyces). Normally a simple crop rotation plan ensures crop success. Last year at this time each member was receiving 2 quarts of peas. Please accept our apologies for this disappointment. We'll plan for a better yield next year.
