Finally... basil! This is the first picking from a new planting, so what we are harvesting is close to the ground. With all the rain we've been getting, (!!!) the leaves are a little dirty, so give them a rinse before eating. Basil is too fussy for us to confidently wash/dry/bag it and have it retain its quality.

Mizuna is an Asian green that is also sometimes called Japanese Mustard. It has a peppery, spicy flavor, but milder than arugula. We love adding it to soups and stir fries, and sometimes we will top a pasta or meat dish with a handful of the greens.

As a reminder, the CSA will end the first week of September. If you have any of your share boxes lying around the house, garage, or the trunk of your car, please remember to bring them back. Thanks!
