Greetings HeartEye Village CSA members!  It’s Stunning Box Four this week!  And wow, who would have thought that the Turnips would have gone bananas before the Basil? Although, the Basil is blessing us mightily at the moment.   Another blessing is that we did NOT get decimated by the hail on Monday. Whew and Hallelujah!  We were prepared and had virtually everything covered with floating row cover.  I had just taken the row cover off of the Winter and Summer Squash, since it was unhappily straining against it.  My mistake…  But Jillian and I ran out there and braved the hailstones to place the row cover back over the squash.  Being slightly battered is a small price to pay to save our precious Patty Pans, is it not?  Thank goodness we were here otherwise those squashes would look like Swiss Cheese about now (as does some of the Spinach in your Braising mix today)!  And you know I just have to ask, is that Escarole not sublime?!

Enjoy!

Tracy
