  • Fruit: blueberries and nectarines
  • Flowers: not ready yet
  • Mushrooms: lion’s mane mushrooms
  • Eggs: not mentioned in this week’s update from John, but assuming yes

For those with half shares, this is “A” week.

Serving Suggestions:

• Over the years, I have posted numerous updates including chervil and marjoram in the herb choice list. I’m not sure how often I’ve actually cooked with them and honestly wasn’t really sure which was which. So I did a little research for myself and figured I should share:
  • Chervil: tender leaves that look like parsley but have an anise-like flavor
  • Marjoram: fuzzy leaves that look like oregano but with a piney, citrusy flavor
