Meanwhile, there are csa members all over the place doing the hard work of getting ready for the season: re-planting the spinach and covering it up; 
planting the little okra plants in amongst the garlic; we had to do this because we're flat out of room. 
But it ought to work - the only little problematic thing will be pulling up the garlic when the time comes and not puling up the okra along with it! 
setting out the teeny tiny pak choi, and also the rainbow chard; 
some are too young to really help, but they're out in the sun in the morning, and that's good. Little Jackson wasn't so sure about all of this at first, but he got with the program
When it's time to go, everybody gets fresh cut mint, a mint plant if they want one, and a bundle of green onions - these are the things that say 'ready or not, it's time'. 
Some folks carry their loot to the car, and others just stuff it into their purse! 
all in all, a wonderful morning. This CSA thing is the smartest thing we've ever done. SUCH nice people! And many of them spend the week in an office, and the opportunity to come out to a garden and listen to the birds and get worn out with this kind of work gives them renewed energy to meet the work week once again. I would say it's a 'win, win' if that weren't the corniest thing one could say.
