First outdoor salad leaves being harvested
June 3, 2024
At long last! Our growers and volunteers are picking the first of the colourful outdoor lettuces for the veg boxes. So far this year we’ve had to rely on green salad leaves grown solely in the polytunnels.
We’re gradually catching up and getting back on schedule now the weather’s warming up.
In all this week’s veg boxes:-
*seasonal salad leaf mix
*parsley
*asparagus (Riverford Wholesale)
*celery (Riverford)
strawberries (Gluvian Growers, St Columb)
potatoes ‘Manitou’ (Trerair Farm, St Eval)
Also in the standard boxes:
*broad beans
*‘wet’ green garlic
*sprouted fenugreek seeds
* = grown to organic principles. Please wash all veg thoroughly
Produce grown by Camel CSA, unless indicated otherwise
