Well, despite all the storms that have blown through we have had a busy week. The spring CSA is going well. People are loving their vegetables. We've also started going to the Oak Park Farmer's Market on Saturday. Tomorrow is my first farmers' market as a farmer! I'm very excited. We spent most of today harvesting. We'll be taking lettuce, spinach (two kinds), arugula, green onions, green garlic, kohlrabi, napa (chinese) cabbage, asparagus, radishes (three kinds), hakurei turnips, and i think there's something else but I can't remember now. That's quite a list! We start loading the truck at 4:30 AM! I'm hoping I'm coherent. Actually, I'm not worried about getting up. I'm worried about falling asleep. I'm so excited I might have a hard time sleeping. I'll be sure to let you know how it goes.

I had to google "hakurei" turnips because I knew it looked Japanese! And, lo and behold, I see a picture of some round, white turnips that I often see in the grocery store. Sadly, I've never tried them...yet. I found a recipe I think I'll try. I'll let you know how it turns out.
millie-right on! haukeri are japanese! they are delicious! not you're typical turnip. they're sweeter. i've only had them raw. let me know how you like them cooked.
