Maryland's Pick June 17, 2010

Welcome to week 4 of the Maryland Pick program!

We were hoping to move out of some of the lettuces and greens this week and into a slightly more diverse bag, however mother nature was not on our side.  We were scheduled to add cucumbers and zucchini, however the heat last weekend stymied the growth.  Some of you have also asked about fruit in the bags – the Maryland season for fruit is a bit later into the summer, but when it arrives in a few weeks it should be great. We expect some fantastic peaches out of Poolesville, MD!

Here is the list of what each bag should look like this week:

 From Homestead Farms:

·          1 head of napa cabbage

·          1 head of green cabbage

·          1 bunch of swiss chard

From Koinonia Farms:

·          1 clamshell of organic chives

·          1 clamshell of organic thyme

From Chesapeake Greenhouse:

2 heads of Bibb lettuce

1 head of “spring mix”, roots included!

From Arnold Farms:

2 lbs of yellow squash
