T Tuesday: CSA edition

Last week we received our first box of produce from our CSA. What a bounty!

All of that came from the 3/4 bushel box on the table.

Another really cool feature is a “swap box” at the pickup site. If you see something in the box you’d rather have, you can swap it out for something in your box. That’s how I ended up with 2 bunches of radishes. I swapped the second bunch for a bag of arugula.

Carrots, beets, bok choy, garlic scapes, mixed spring greens, spinach and radishes all in week one! AND the basil plant in my deck box. I knew from seeing the boxes last year that we’d likely get one so I didn’t bother planting any…just left a spot for it instead.

Between the CSA, our home garden and the garden space at my in-laws, we should be eating super healthy this summer!

I’ll update you on my gardens next week. They are growing like crazy. I’m so happy to walk out there every morning to see the growth. I don’t even mind having to pull a few weeds and use the watering can to hand water the spaces with our collected rain water.

I hadn’t realized until just a few days ago how much my focus changes to the outdoors in the summer. Likely because our winters are so long and sometimes harsh that we tend to spend as much time as possible outdoors.

Mini-me and I are off for a small adventure today since J is at work!! He got his first job and is at his second day of training today.

What are you doing today?

    Your veggie box has my mouth watering, yummy. Have fun eating, and being outdoors. I had a walk today and now I’m home watching, once again, the rain pour down! Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie

    You’ll be eating well! I focus on the outside whenever things are growing. I just tend to drift in that direction :) I look forward to seeing more of your gardens. It’s always fun to see what other people do. Happy T Tuesday

    How awesome! I planted some radishes, they are really easy to grow, but they are so close together, I’m not sure they will ever look as good as the ones you got in that box. Looks like you will certainly be getting your money’s worth.

    Have fun with your daughter today. I’ll be heading to the PO after I shower and finish visiting my T group.

    Thanks for sharing your garden and your fun photo with the coffee in it for T this Tuesday, dear friend.

    oooh that veggie box looks super and boy would those ingredients make for a great green smoothie too:) I tend to be outdoors much more this time of year too as I like to take advantage of my favorite season. Just got back from a long walk before the heat of the day sets in:) Have a great day and happy T day too!

    Those veggies look yummy. Do you plan on fixing something complex with them or just using them for salads or as they are? Your gardens must be way ahead of mine. Happy gardening.
