csa week 3

it's not pretty but it's exactly what my fridge looks like these days
(ignore the beer in the background, it isn't mine)

1. the bounty

• 2 zucchini
• 2 golden zucchini
• 1 bunch toscano kale
• 2 bunches broccoli
  
• 1 head escarole
• 1 head of lettuce
• parsley
• 1 kohlrabi
• garlic scapes
• 2 cucumbers
• 3 pints blueberries

2. cost analysis (comparison costs courtesy of freshdirect):

veggies:

• 2 zucchini: $3 (organic)
  
• 2 golden zucchini: not available; i'll assume $3
• kale: $3 (organic)
• broccoli: $5 (organic not available)
  
• escarole: $3 (organic not available)
  
• lettuce: $3 (organic)
• parsley: $2 (organic)
  
• kohlrabi: not available; i'll say $1
  
• garlic scapes: not available; i'll say $2 since there were more than last week
  
• 2 cucumbers: $4 (organic)
  

= $29
actual csa cost per week = $22

fruit:

• blueberries: over $25 (can this be right?!)

=$25
actual csa cost per week = $11.67

and just when the paychecks couldn't come fast enough, the weather picked up, and the csa started to pay off--big time!
