The spinach is pretty much begging to be picked; the arugula, too. Bok choy, kale, and lettuce are all ready for someone’s plate. I wish the beets, carrots, kohlrabi, summer turnips and scallions were ready. I thought about postponing the first distribution until some of the root crops could make an appearance.

“Hmmmm,” I asked myself. “If I were a shareholder, what would I want?”

The first CSA distribution is this Thursday. It will be a small, very green share. A nice little taste of spring to start the season. I may throw in a woodchuck or two if I find any during the Thursday harvest.
