Grandson Eli leans into his task and starts the process of installing the bird exclusion nets over the blueberry fields. Each bag holds 200 feet of net, with more than 2,000 row feet of berries, plus the nets for the sides tops and bottoms of the fields, we have about a half mile of net to deploy.

This week's shares include a few familiar items including Green Kale, Red Russian Kale, Rainbow Chard, and Zuccini.  New for this week are a few early Green Bell Peppers, Chives, and Garlic Scapes. For the uninitiated, garlic scapes are the flower stalks from hardneck garlic. They have a fresh, mild garlic flavor and can be chopped uncooked and added to salads.  Another great way to go is a sautee using a combination of this week's chard, kale, and scapes. There are endless variations on the theme but simply cutting the greens into serving sized pieces, sauteeing in olive oil, then salt and pepper to taste is an easy, tasty way to start.
