Our own strawberries are not quite ready yet, instead we all have a punnet from Tamara Summer Fruits, near Saltash.

Some of this week’s veg boxes also have a garlic scape – the long stalks with a flower head that grow out of garlic bulbs planted the previous autumn.

The tender green stalks are edible and tasty, with a mild garlic flavour. They’re delicious chopped and fried lightly, then scattered into salads, stirred through pasta dishes, or used to garnish risottos and pizza. More recipe suggestions here.

In this week’s veg shares:
*garlic scape or broad bean tops
*salad leaves ‘Salad Bowl’
*lettuce ‘Little Gem’
*radishes
strawberries (Tamara Summer Fruits, Saltash)
cabbage (Trerair Farm Shop, St Eval)
potatoes ‘Melody White’ (Trerair)

* = grown to organic principles.  Please wash all veg thoroughly  
Produce grown by Camel CSA, unless otherwise indicated
