mmmm...almost berry season!!! Can't wait!

[racfish]

MMMMMM berry season.. yummers...I go up to Skagit County for most of my berries. There are some great berry fields up ova yonder near Mt Vernon.Tayberries,Marion,Logan,Linguinberrys. Sp.. Anyone heard from John( Curado) lately??

[wolverine]

Rac, I think that Curado has discovered girls!

[racfish]

Ahhhhh yes.. I remember those days. I hope when he finds a keeper (girlfriend) that he dosent bonk her in the head and throw her up on the rocks trying to catch another..Hehehehe.. Back on the topic is .The spinach is unbelievably good. the lettuce too is crisp and sweet. Spinach is so darn good but I can only eat small ammounts of it. That vitamin K wreaks havoc on my blood.

Thats what 17 18 bucks for a case of let? Average for us, but I will check them out. We have getting spotty let at times and could use better quality. Thanks for the heads up.

First of all I say go buy and check it out. Small farming lettuce that is eaten within a 3 day period always tastes great. Better then the Hydroponic types.By the time you eat lettuce from the commercial produce peeps its been bagged for weeks till it lands in the consumers plate.For me the cost is important but more important is the quality of what goes in me.Capinitos is a large co-op of farmers who grow for them. From Kent to Orting are the fields. The Kent Auburn valley is such great and fertile land. The produce from our area is fantastic. I took my sis and niece from New York there . They didnt believe me when I said Zuchinni flowers were 12 for 1.50. In new york its 2.00 per flower. I stuff the flowers with fresh Mozzerella and gently fry in olive oil and garlic. The cheese just gets softer and very nice.

Yeah they are good. My wife always makes me take her there. If anyone goes beach crabbing I bought a nice bamboo pole there that works great. They have local strawberries when they are ready. Might take awhile this year...

[racfish]

Allright Cortron ,Your wish came true. Local Strawberries are in at Carpinitos.They are very good but a bit pricey. $12.00 a half flat and approx $22 for a full flat.I bought a half flat myself and they are tastey.Thought I'd give y'all that heads up.

[coretron22]
