So, the new chicken scrap schedule is Monday and Wednesday and then some day later in the week - haha. Produce Guy's schedule isn't always the same, so I figure I can't be picky while getting free food and I'll adapt to his schedule.
Monday's goods were awesome!
3 bags stir fry veggies
7 bags lettuce
3 lb okra
1.5 lb sugar peas
3 organic beets
20 miscellaneous hot peppers
1 yellow pepper
2 heads romaine
4 heads red/green leaf
7 stalks rhubarb
1 bunch green onions
8 carrots
4 yellow squash
and a handful of cilantro
Yet again....THANK YOU Mavis!
