Dear Vegetable Husband customer,

This week will be the first week that you have full grown collards.  Enjoy them; they are the greens in the plastic bag.  We are on the last week of the bok choy.  I cleaned the farm out of it.  This veggie is so easy and flavorful.

Unfortunately, I was surprised to find the state of Georgia lacking in organic apples so we are doing without a fruit this week.  Don’t worry!  I have not given up.  I drove up to wander the mountains and just talk to locals in Ellijay and Blairsville to see if I could find a small organic farmer with a few trees.  Keep your fingers crossed!  I have a good feeling about next week.

Please notice that your sweet peppers are loose in the basket and the HOT peppers are tucked away in a clear bag.  You also have a clear bag of your parsley.  This is a very strong herb with an interesting history.  I am going to give more details on the history of parsley in the blog this week if you are slightly interested. Below is the list of your goodies for this week:

sweet peppers
hot peppers
collard greens
okra
Jericho lettuce
Chinese eggplanth
bok choy
parsley

Do not hesitate to call or e-mail with any questions you have.  Remember, I am happy to talk FOOD!

Namaste,

Margie Thorpe
