In your Feed Sacks this week, you will find some fragrant lavender and also a fingerling potato seed. We will be planting a few hundred within the next few days, and I thought you might want to join in the excitement! Its very simple to plant these seeds. Just dig a hole about 3 inches deep, place seed in, and cover. Thats it! Nature will work its magic, but just water of course! You may also have 2 different varieties of lettuce this week, fresh peppermint, wintergreen, lemonbalm, chives, baby kale, zucchini, squash, tarragon, oregano, thyme, and wormwood. The wormwood is the silvery green stalk with silk like fern petals. I have included instructions in a separate blog post on how to make a natural bug repellent. The yellow flowers are Lady's Mantle and make a lovely floral bouquet.
I have had many CSA clients ask me where to get Aveda Beetroot lip gloss, so I decided to include an Aveda lip or eye colour in this week's share. Inspired by nature, these hues will keep you in the true spirit of a CT locavore.
