I think Maaartha would approve

My CSA started up for the summer – wahoo! This time we subscribed to a full share, instead of splitting it with another couple, so we're really going to have to eat our veggies to keep up. It has been really cool and rainy still this spring, so are mostly still eating greens from the greenhouse. I'm not complaining, there was quite a variety: Chard, Spinach, Tat soi, Pac choi Carrots, Baby lettuce, Lettuce Cilantro, Turnips, Spring onions, and Kale.
But my favorite thing of the week was my "egg share." Normally the eggs are the beautiful brown eggs that you expect to see when you buy fresh organic eggs. But this week I got one random blue-green egg, which of course immediately made me think of Martha Stewart and her fancy chickens that lay all different colors of eggs. I'm still trying to come up with a way to use that egg that is Maaaatha-worthy.
Egg shares! I had no idea such a thing existed… I need one especially if it comes with fancy eggs.
I thought about buying a share like that. But with just the hubby and me and he barely eats veggies, I would be hard pressed to eat that manygreens! i’ll stick to hauntinghte farmer’s market.
Sounds like a great box this week. I too have a veggie delivery service (not a CSA but a box each week) – the first week that it included eggs, there were 11 brown ones & 1 creamy colored one – I had to chuckle. Asparagus was in the box on Friday & this week the first rhubarb of the season will be included – yay!
Your garden is looking great – I’ll get a few things planted in the next 2 weeks.
And “my” farmer’s market starts this weekend – bring on the produce!
