Jenny, Chris, Minnie, and I joined together and bought a CSA farm share for the summer. For those ho don't know, CSA stands for "community-supported agriculture" and is a program that lets you buy a share of the crops produced by a local farm.
We picked the Women's Environmental Institute in North Branch, MN. Every week, they send a box full of fresh veggies to a drop of location and we pick it up. I had originally planned to take a picture of each box and post an update every week, but that just didn't happen. We're now on our 10th week and I've only photographed the first -- and smallest -- bundle of produce:
This lovely spread contains lettuce, kohlrabi, green onions, marjoram, a riot pepper plant, broccoli, and beets. All delicious. Since then, the boxes have become heavier and have included cabbage, leeks, basil, sweet corn, cauliflower, and more.
I even planted those peppers, and they're doing great. I think one of the many peppers that have sprouted is nearly ripe, and I might give it a try pretty soon.
The farm also has a salsa-making party this weekend. I think I should go.

Did somebody lure you in advertising a weekend of free gardening, only to spend the entire time pestering you to purchase their gardenshare?
Salsa is awesome.
