Have a Hankering for Fresh Greens?

It’s March, it was 70 degrees yesterday, and growing season is just around the corner. But, if you are already yearning for fresh produce, we have news for you! Charles and staff experimented with growing some greens in the unheated greenhouse this winter, and they did well. So there is chard and lettuce ready to harvest in the greenhouse right now, and Enright CSA members are welcome to come and do a little harvesting on their own—please feel free to take what you can use.

We had some of the chard on Saturday, cooked up with sauce and some eggplant I blanched and froze last summer when we were inundated with it, and accompanied by a salad of fresh-picked lettuce. It was one of the best meals I’ve had lately, and of course it had me hungry for more locally grown produce from the Enright CSA. First pickup is just about two months away, but for now, there’s a little CSA lagniappe available with these winter-grown greens.
