Produce in shares

	I read an interesting way to understand the progression of produce from our gardens in Orion Magazine: (Thomas) Stalking the Vegetannual
	by BARBARA KINGSOLVER
	http://www.orionmagazine.org/

	First come the leaves: spinach, kale, lettuce, and chard
	mature heads of leaves and flower heads: cabbage, romaine, broccoli, and
	tender young fruit-set: snow peas, baby squash, cucumbers (June), followed by green beans, green peppers, and small tomatoes (July).
	more mature, colorfully ripened fruits: beefsteak tomatoes, eggplants, red and yellow peppers the large, hard-shelled fruits with developed seeds inside: cantaloupes, honeydews, watermelons, pumpkins, winter squash (August– September)
	Last come the root crops, and so ends the produce parade.
