Thank you, very useful. I wasnt really a big fan of Spinach for many years (ok, that's a total understatement, I hated the stuff), but after marrying a vegan I kind of had to get used to it, and have gradually come to love the stuff. Spinach curry is now my absolute favouritest! I recently found an entire spinach recipes website which is my new favourite site now, you should take a look!

I hope your back is feeling better, Rebecca. I miss seeing you and all of the Meridian Farmers’ Market folks every Saturday.

Hi Rebecca-

We thought you had a great variety last summer – although we did have to get pretty creative to use up all of the chard/kale/collards. (They were delicious though!) Green bell peppers were great, we love to eat them weekly. Our other favorites were green beans, broccoli and TOMATOES. Your tomatoes were outstanding. And raspberries and watermelon were a great summer treat. We would love to see as many cucumbers (any variety) as possible.

I’m in agreement with several of the other posters – I’d like to see more salad-type greens and less kale/collards. Loved the chard and the potato and tomato varieties!! Would it be possible to get more fruits? The strawberries and raspberries were great, but only saw the strawberries once, I think. I don’t know about the growing seasons on these, though – may not be possible. Do you grow blueberries? They are my favorite! Tree fruits are nice, too.

I’d love to see a wider variety of spring greens – there are so many different varieties of lettuces, spinach, asian greens, mustards, tatsoi, komatsuna, etc, etc. I know chard and kale are reliable producers, but I love to try new greens!

Great suggestions!

I have been trying to talk Paul into Asian Burpless cucumbers for years… they require trellising for really great results- but they’re a favorite in our house too.

Elizabeth- We have about 25 rhubarb plants, but by the time the CSA starts the rhubarb is usually “done”… meaning that we find the quality just isn’t there anymore. However we usually always have lots of it at the farmers market. We freeze a lot of it every year and wait for the strawberries to come in… to make strawberry rhubarb pies… yum.

Angela- We haven’t had success growing artichokes in Michigan… seriously though it’s a favorite of mine, so we’ve tried many times. My rosemary plants are finally getting going too- I’ve just been afraid to cut them- but that’s definitely on my radar.

Any other specific varieties we should look for?

I felt like I missed two things–would like to see what I call salad cucumbers, the long ones, like an Asian burpless or the sweet seedless–they are much better in salad than what I call picklers. Also, would like to see more regular salad greens, like leaf or spinach or romaine, less of the kale and collards. I know however that temperature controls those things, that they do better in the cooler temps. For the most part, I really like your variety–wish it could go longer in the Fall, so could get more of the Fall veggies–squash, pumpkins, potatoes, brocolli, etc. But I bet you are so glad when they last week rolls around!! Have a good Christmas.

I’m a big fan of the herbs – the thyme this year was amazing!

I like Jersey Knight asparagus, broccoli raab, boston or butter lettuce and how about some melons?

Also thinking that I’d be interested in a Fall/Winter share if you guys are up for it. It was so great to see you last week – the sage and lettuces that I bought were perfect for our Thanksgiving dinner. I even used up the last of my CSA potatoes, leeks and shallots.

Oh, and make sure you keep those luscious raspberries! They were such a wonderful treat for all of us.

This would take some time to get established, but I can never get enough rhubarb! It’s low maintenance once it’s well established, lasts for years, and is ready relatively early in the season. It’s a real spring tonic.

Hello:
I would like eggplant, sorrel, rosemary and artichokes. Thanks for everything! Have a nice holiday.
