CSA, Week 4

It was another busy week at the farm; all the root vegetables have been seeded (carrots, turnips, and beets), the one-hundred-plus tomato plants have been tied up, we've picked about five flats of strawberries out of our little patch, the peppers in the greenhouse have been tied up, and after all that rain there is A LOT of weeding to be done!
The market was busy on Saturday, I think we have more people in there every week. 
I have been cooking and baking, nearly, non-stop--or at least whenever I'm in the house. 
The cherries on our four trees are ripening up. I pan to get a lot picked...unlike last year. And now that the blueberry bushes have received a sufficient amount of water, the fruit on them is beginning to size up.

Mesclun mix
Lettuce heads
Chinese cabbage
Kale
Swiss chard
