Your weekly farm update:

TOSSED: The fourth kohlrabi. It put up a valiant fight for three solid weeks, but the march of time got to it before I could. Also, inevitably, beet greens, but those don't count because they're only potentially food to begin with.

PRESERVED: More green garlic and scapes pulverized for the frozen bin. A head and a half of cauliflower in day five of its pickling.

PROBABLY DOOMED: Broccoli. There was so damn much of it, only one of us likes it, and our first attempt to pawn it off on friends met with failure when someone else brought snack-broccoli too.

This week's additions:

• A nice handful of basil, which I can always use.
• Two more stalks of "fresh garlic", which differs from "green garlic" only in the sense that the bulbs are slightly bigger, the stalks are thicker, and there's overall less stalk.
• Four bigass beets - I am succumbing to reality and ditching the greens right away to make storage easier.
• One slightly anemic bunch of green onions, but I can always use those.
• Three perfectly reasonably-sized bags - one with snow peas, one with green beans, and one with snap peas. The snap peas we got last week were the best snap peas I've tasted in my entire life, and immediately made me a fan of something I'd been somewhere between ambivalent about and mild dislike of.
• One bigass head of red leaf lettuce
• One medium-ass head of red cabbage, which is more leafy and less red than store-bought.
• One large shitload of carrots, which have joined with the small shitload of carrots untouched from last week to form Mega Shitloadzord.
• A healthy bunch of cilantro, which may be tough to use since Cathy has the soap gene.
• One barely hand-sized pattypan squash. This is sad, because the little bastards have endeared themselves to me over the past couple of weeks.
• One disturbingly girthy zucchini
• Three large cucumbers. This is the only area where I miss Rock Spring, honestly. They grew an English-style cucumber that was just fantastic, and that I prefer to the standard cuke. Still, no worries about running out of cucumber this week.
