We’ll take it. This week I hope to have zucchini and yellow summer
squash, first of the season. I’ll have mixed lettuce bags and heads of
green crisp and Romaine lettuce, kale, both curly and dino, collards ,
and jellies and dried mushroom and kale powders. And garlic scapes, I’ll
try not to forget them. If anything else comes ready, I’ll bring that,
