CSA Report

No eggs this delivery, woe. Maybe next time.

But I did get

• Green leaf lettuce
• Garnet yams - tiny baby ams. I'm not sure what to do with tiny baby yams
• Broccoli
• Cauliflower
• Dino Kale
• Collard Greens
• Tangerines - 8 honey tangerines, that's gonna take a while to get through
• Gala apples
• Mangoes (!) - possibly not ripe yet? They get soft when they're ripe, right?

I'm not sure where to start eating, those all sound delicious.

If the mangoes aren't ripe, just put them in a paper bag in a dark place for a few days.

So jealous! I want to do a CSA, but as a single person, I just won't use it.

Thanks! There are two, so if the first one I try is underripe I'll try that with the second. I've got them on the counter with the apples right now, and they seem to be the same level of ripening from what I can tell by poking at them. Meanwhile, the sheer number of tangerines has me eating those every time I turn around, so if the mangoes can take a couple of days that'll ease the pressure.

I only get my delivery once a month, which helps with using it all up. Even so, I was composting too much of the first few months because I just didn't get everything eaten quickly enough, but I got through the last box in only a week - retraining myself to have the things that will spoil fastest first (Still Tasty is my friend in this) and just accepting that I'm probably not eating anything except CSA produce right after it comes seems to be working.
