eggs & greens galore

We're getting busier here every week getting spring's crops in the ground!  A slew of potatoes went in the ground this morning, along with still more greens, roots, cabbage and broccoli, and more.  The plan is to set out early tomatoes in the greenhouse this weekend (yeah 'maters!), but the greenhouse is still thick with quite a bit of lettuce and spinach.  The new laying hens I bought last year are turning out eggs by the hundreds every week - even though we bought a second refrigerator to store them all, we're still running out of room, and not moving enough eggs.  Early spring may seem like a slim season, but what there is, it's there in spades!

I hate to see anything go to waste, and so eggs, lettuce, and spinach are on sale this week.  Sometimes we just grow too much - lucky for you!  Buy 2 dozen eggs, you'll get one free.  Buy any 2 bags of either lettuce or spinach, you'll get one free.  Eggs will keep for up to three months under refrigeration: if you look at the end of your egg carton, you'll notice that there we scribbled the date that box of eggs were picked up (and we pick up eggs at least once per day).  Add three months to that date, and you have your eggs' expiration date.  Spinach and lettuce will keep up to two weeks in your refrigerator.  We always cut greens the same day they are delivered (you won't find 'em fresher unless you grow your own).  We wash and dry the greens as best we can for the longest possible shelf life.  If you tuck a paper towel in your bag of greens to help absorb moisture, they may keep even longer.  We do have more spinach growing outside in the field that's ready to cut now, but this will be your last chance at lettuce for a few weeks.
