Share # 5 - June 14, 2015

What was in today's share:

I was in a super rush this morning so I didn't weigh anything.  Or take pictures of the flowers.  If you farm share folks reading this care to send a picture of your bouquet or mini share, that would be awesome.  Or post pictures of your flowers, share or prepared food using your share at Sweet Morning Farm's facebook page.  More pictures here.

Each order also included a cloth bag made by Karen. These can be used to store your washed mesclun in the refrigerator. We plant on making more bags so you will always have one available. Still working on good ways to avoid using plastic. Let us know what you think of the bags.

Violet Jelly - I noticed that the violet jelly goes moldy fairly quickly after it is opened so when you open yours, keep it in the frig and eat it up promptly. It goes well with meat, like basil or mint jelly.





Today's bouquet: Iris - blue, white, yellow, tan, etc., Deronicum - like a yellow daisy, Peonies - light and dark pink and white, Lady's Mantle - lime green, Kousa dogwood - 4 whitish green petals, Dictamus (tall purple and white streaks), Hosta leaves - white and green
