I’m sure\u00c2\u00a0it’s a coincidence, but\u00c2\u00a0last week I complained about\u00c2\u00a0all the vegetables we were getting each week in our CSA share, and this week we didn’t get as many.\u00c2\u00a0 Here’s what we got this week:<\/p>\n
1 head red leaf lettuce
\n2 cucumbers
\n1 bunch salad onions (3)
\n1 bunch scallions
\n1 bunch beets with greens attached
\nbaby beet greens
\ngreen beans
\n6 ears corn
\n2 yellow summer squash
\n2 zucchini<\/p>\n
Last week we got an extra lettuce (romaine), and more summer squash, and both Romano beans and wax beans instead of regular green beans. We didn’t get beet greens or beets, but we got an eggplant, and some basil.<\/p>\n
I suppose this week’s take is a more reasonable amount of food, but now that I’ve been trained to expect ridiculously massive quantities of produce every week, it doesn’t feel like a good deal if we’re getting less.<\/p>\n
I’m also a little annoyed that the “full share” people are always getting the special vegetables when the “half share” people like us aren’t. Maybe this is to be expected, but we’ve only gotten kale and Swiss chard once, and the full share people are getting one or the other (or both!) every week. And this week the full share people got tomatoes. Tomatoes! Possibly the most desirable vegetable, and we didn’t get any. Hopefully it’s just that the tomatoes are only starting to come in, and they didn’t have enough for everyone. But I’m certainly not joining this CSA again if I don’t get some tomatoes at some point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
