It’s time to fumigate for termites, so we have to clean out the fridge and use my Fifth Crow Farms veggie box in a hurry this week. In our box we found fennel, Red Russian kale, baby lettuces, scallions, red radishes, mint, strawberries, spring salad mix, turnips and spinach. Here is my menu planned for
