Howdy folks and welcome to week 2 of your Tumbleweed Farm CSA share. We hope you enjoyed the veggies last week and got to spend some quality time in the kitchen and enjoy a few fresh meals with your families. This week we are excited about the first of this seasons carrots getting yanked from the dirt along with your first turnips of the season (you’ll be getting turnips often so I hope you like them!) This is the last week of the spring garlic (though some of you are receiving garlic scapes this week!) as we move from the spring garlic to scapes before garlic heads. It’s a fun transition to experience every stage of the garlic plant! The green garlic and scapes can be used in every recipe that calls for garlic cloves. Their flavors are lighter and a bit fresher tasting than cured garlic but can be used interchangeably throughout recipes. Dice them up like you would a scallion.

We’ve got some tasty recipes to share this week with you all as well. One of our favorite spring soups is being linked and even though the weather is warm this soup is damn fine of a hot evening! I really hope you all enjoy it as much as we do.

Cheers to the harvest!

Your farmers,
A & T (and baby P)
