Golden Frill Mustard: 1 bunch
(Open-pollinated. Light golden-green leaves curl and furl, lift and separate, adding flounce to your salad mix. Intricate serration of foliage seems almost laser cut. Its mustard flavor gives an acute peppery zing. Grows quickly for use as a baby green throughout the year and, at sauté size, resists bolting in the summer heat.)
Rainbow chard – 1 bunch
Green onions- 1 bunch of 3
Summer squash- zucchini and yellow squash- 2 each
Raspberries- 1 pt.
Beets- 1 bunch
Cabbage- 1 (Golden Acre Cabbage: A selection of the Copenhagen Market type billed as “new…the earliest of the round-headed cabbages” in the 1928 Jerome B. Rice catalog. Grey-green heads, some with a faint reddish tint in the outer leaves, average 3–5 lb. Our trialers found them big, round and solid with white interiors. Tasters praised their delicate but crunchy texture, sweet and spicy flavor that developed buttery undertones after cooking.)
Carrots – 1 bunch baby
Green beans - ½ lb
Lettuce- 1 head
Kale- 1 bunch
Cucumber- 1
Zinnias- 1 bouquet
Herbs:
·         Genovese basil- 1 bunch
·         Garlic chives with flowers- 1 bunch

​Asst mustard/Asian greens
·         Lady Murasaki: ( Lady Murasaki, the courtly author of The Tale of Genji, considered one of the world’s first and finest novels, is an apt namesake for this elegant komatsuna (Japanese mustard spinach). Murasaki means ‘purple’ in Japanese—and this variety is so very purple that it lured me through a field of about three dozen other kinds of greens to get a closer look.)*
·         White flowered Kailaan: (Also known as Chinese Broccoli, Chinese Kale, Guy Lon or Gai Lan. Grown for its succulent stalks and leaves, it sends up tender 8" shoots topped with elegant little loose florettes.)*
·         Maruba Santoh:  (With Maruba you get four vegetables in one. The loose round vibrant chartreuse leaves provide a mild piquant mustardy flavor while the flat white stems impart a juicy crisp pac choy taste. High-end chefs like to use the blossoms.)*
·         Golden Frill Mustard: (Open-pollinated. Light golden-green leaves curl and furl, lift and separate, adding flounce to your salad mix. Intricate serration of foliage seems almost laser cut. Its mustard flavor gives an acute peppery zing. Grows quickly for use as a baby green throughout the year and, at sauté size, resists bolting in the summer heat.)*
