Springing Vegetables
March 15, 2007 in CSA
The bounty of spring continues to rev up! This week’s CSA Organic Veggie Box was absolutely brimming with goodness. One of my favorite things was the phenomenal range of colors that are beginning to appear.
The beet stems and greens are the most brilliant fuchsia color. In fact they are so gorgeous I couldn’t bear to throw them away and plant to cook them this weekend. The swiss chard has bright red stems. The pears are deep burgundy and gold. And the asparagus (the first for me this season!) shows off its lovely green suit quite stunningly.
These are so pretty!
I am very jealous of all your colours and particularly your asparagus.
I keep seeing white asparagus in the store but as much as I love it I am nervous to buy it. I just don’t think it can remotely compare to ‘spargel’ season in Germany. :p
I have beets and their greens in the fridge to cook too. Everything is looking pretty here too but no asparagus at my organic farm. But they do have that neon green cauliflower that I love.
