Share Notes
- Beets: The red beets in your share this week have their tops on. You may notice beets greens resemble chard, and you can use them anywhere you would use chard in your cooking
- Mustard Greens: The Red Giant mustard greens in your share this week are a bit more mild than the all green variety you received a couple weeks back, so give them a try fresh or lightly cooked.
The Sauvie Island Center invites you to join them for…
