Contents of our vegetable boxes this week are provided by Mark Norman, Jane Mellowship, Jeremy Brown of St Kew Harvest and Camel CSA’s own plot, all of it grown to organic principles.

Update: Don’t forget that the beetroot tops make a tasty vegetable – see Seasonal recipe No 51. The Pentland Javelin potatoes we’re getting at the moment tend to collapse if overcooked – try steaming rather than boiling them. And this week’s French beans are a mix of purple- and green-podded ones but all come out green once cooked.

Small boxes will have:
potatoes – Pentland Javelin (Mark)
turnips (Mark)
broad beans (Mark)
beetroot (Mark
calabrese (Jeremy)
parsley (Jeremy)
salad (Camel CSA)

Medium boxes will have extra potatoes as well as:
french beans (Jane and Jeremy)
cucumber (Jeremy)
basil (Jeremy)

Large boxes will have extra potatoes, turnips, salad and beetroot, plus:
peas (Jeremy)
courgettes (Jeremy)
onions (Camel CSA)
