Thanks for this post! I’ve been considering using seaweed in my garden, but wasn’t sure what the process is. Does it need to be rinsed to get rid of high salt content? Does it smell like lowtide for weeks? Thanks for any answers you might have

I look forward to picking up my farm share each week! I’m so impressed by the work that you do, and it’s terrific enjoying salads and veggies grown locally. With this last batch, I roasted the beets in the oven and chopped them into a salad. I also made the basil into a pesto sauce–delicious! I snacked on the sweet peas, too. I like the pea tendrils in the salad when I find them…just like the peas. Sorry that I have to run off so soon after I pick up my stuff. Most times I have a cranky toddler in tow who is demanding my attention. I am looking forward to helping with the work when I return (I’ll be in Prague from July 12-25). Thanks, farmers!

The high quality vegetables you grow make people strong and healthy and you pedal your produce around town by bicycle, which makes you an inspiration to all of those car potatoes! Speaking of potatoes, I pulled up some potatoes from our backyard veggie garden this weekend and made a potato salad for the 4th. With food in hand, Than, Adam, and I rode our Seahaulk blow-up raft down to India Point Park on the Than’s bike cart and launched into the tame waters of the Bay where we bumped into some friends and farmers on their own floatation devises with yummy snacks. Roped together, we ate potato salad, toasted our independence, and watched an amazing fireworks show.

Comment on Kale and Radishes by Adam

I hope AS220 really wants a lot of kale. I haven’t weighed mine yet, but there is a lot of it.

I didn’t have any trouble finding enough greenbriar shoots, but they sure take a long time to harvest. I need to charge maybe twice what I did this time. I’ll say I’m busting my ass in the door with this batch.
