Veggie top-ten list

Category: 

The New York Times ran an article in their health section on Tuesday about how hard it is to get Americans to eat their vegetables and solicited suggestions from readers about how to encourage greater vegetable consumption. My answer: join a CSA! If you have so many gorgeous vegetables filling the fridge, it's hard not to devour them.

Notes from Green Thumb Farm

September is over and our summer crops are winding down. Our fall crops are beginning. Look for many varieties of greens over the next 2 months including - Bok-choi, pac-choi, red choi, tat-soi, senopasi, red Komatsuma, mizuna, purple mizuna, red mustard, Southern green mustard, 3 types of Broccoli Raab, arugala, swiss chards, as well as many types of lettuces and radichios. Kales, Broccolis, cabbages and cauliflowers toard the end of the month. Still much to look forward to.
