I have a fantastic photo at home of the amazing leeks we are getting in our boxes recently. Honestly I think the leek is about 3 feet long! WOW!

The strawberries have been coming weekly for about a month now and I just cannot get enough. Commercially produced strawberries don’t even have a fraction of the flavor these contain in each bite. Plus I have been told that there are several varieties of strawberry planted, so throughout the spring and summer the specific flavor & type of strawberry will evolve. Exciting!!

And with that, let me tell you about this week’s amazing box:

• leeks
• strawberries
• big bag of mixed salad greens
• Lacinto kale
• carrots
• baby turnips with perfect greens still attached
• spicy & delicious radishes
• little bag of spinach

As I mentioned in the video, I typically top the leeks and other items such as radishes & turnips. This simply means removing the greens from the turnip bulb and storing them separately. It helps the root keep longer to remove the greens. For the leeks I cut off the long weedy parts we won’t eat just so they are easy to store.
