Half Share:
8z mesclun
1 big bunch of kale
1 # radishes
1 small head lettuce
1 3/4 # pak choy
4z scallions
small bunch of sorrel
taste of sweet cicely pods

Sweet Cicely - the seed pods taste like licorice
Full Share:
Twice as much on everything except a medium head of cauliflower instead of snow peas

Everyone got flowers, including sunflowers from the hoophouse, the first of the annual centaurea, snapdragons and Sweet William.

Here's a bouquet I made with the leftover flowers:

Share # 1 - May 17, 2012

The shares were ready by 1:30, which is not bad considering the amount of porch clean up I needed to do to be ready.  Next week that will be easier.

The picture shows a Half Share (without their flowers)
The Full Share got twice the amount except the same on herbs.

Half Share #1 (amounts are approximate)

kale 3/4 lb
spinach 3/4 lb
salad turnips 4-5
radishes 1 small bunch
mesclun 6 oz
romaine lettuce 1 head
herbs 1 mixed bundle - sorrel, dill and cilantro
