I need some brilliant ideas to keep CSA members happy till the sun comes out
here in cloudy wet Massachusetts, even lettuce in growing in microscopic
increments. Next week is first pickup, I don't even have Swiss Chard (the
seeds have barely sprouted ). I have got enough small Pak Choi one for each
membership (damn the sharers but I warned them ha ha), I suppose I have two
but I'll need them for the following week :). I have plenty of Thyme (ha
ha), chives and sage. A taste of volunteer dill and cilantro. I might by
next week have a few wild daisies fingers crossed for this weed :).

Our beans have rotted what appears to be twice corn as well so when will we
ever get it to sprout never mind harvest. What will I give out in upcoming
weeks, stressing.

Suggestions: Eggs I usually sell them
I could make jam from frozen berries, fresh rhubarb and eventually
strawberries looking good but late. Damn the sharers again (CSA members
sometimes spit their shares I warn them its one share). If I am going to
make 40 units of jam it will have to be the 4 oz jars not bad for one family
to taste for a few breakfasts but damn the sharers (noticed I am stressed
ha ha)

On another list someone said they made bread the members liked it so much
that they wanted her to make it the following year when harvest was fine.
Bread might have to be an option but it wouldn't be farm grown.

Suggestions welcome! Beth
