CSA, aka Community Supported Agriculture

Dale & I opted for a different gardening option this summer because our summer is so-o-o busy (but fun) and yesterday we picked up our 2nd bundle from our gardener buddy, Paul. It is fantastic...& keep in mind we only bought 1/2 share in his garden.

We received two kinds of spinach, leaf lettuce, head lettuce and spicy greens along with Lamb's Quarters. We also received a few radishes, garlic flowers, herbs, rhubarb and honey. We have decided not to cross over to eat the greens we think of as a weed, the Lamb's Quarters, also known as "pig weed." I am going to give them to one of my co-workers who will feed them to her Llamas.

He gives us a newletter along with our delivery of goods and it also contains a recipe or two. Yesteday's letter had a recipe for rhubarb scones, so my plan is to try that & if it is good, I'll post it here.

Paul is an adjunct Geography professor at BSU and just loves gardening, so he decided to turn a hobby into a money making hobby. And we are the benefactors of it!

So far, so good...who knows, we may decide to give up vegetable growing for good.
