"We have a new variety
of strawberry
this year called Jewel."
Dear People,
Welcome to another season of food from Covelo Organic.
We have a new variety of strawberry this year called "Jewel."
We planted 500 plants last year and in the past week we picked
about 500 pints of sweet berries. Last Saturday in Ukiah we found
that many took advantage of our three for $5.00 offer. We are
including three baskets in each box this week.
We have our first sugar snap peas. These are a sweet edible
pod pea that grow sweeter as they swell in the pod. We expect
lots of these peas in the next few weeks.
A wet, wet April kept us from making the expected sowings
and plantings until mid May. We will be a bit slow tp provide
the spring crops of spinach, turnips, carrots, beets, cabbage,
broccoli and cauliflower, but these are growing and expected
for the weeks ahead. Tomatoes and basil are growing in hoophouses
and will preceed the outdoor crops by a month or more.
Please remember to leave your empty box for us to pick up
next week as we try to make these last for the year. Thank you
for your deposits. They keep us afloat at this time of year.
Sincerely,
Tom Palley
