Though last week's rain may have kept you inside, the blossoms and buds on the trees didn't seem to mind. The sky was gray, but there is now a beautiful array of color—soft pink, rich magenta, cheery yellow, fresh green—to feast your eyes upon. This week's boxes will feature an array of seasonal colors, especially spring greens and soft oranges, and plenty of tasty veggies to prepare a different kind of feast.

It's Marathon Monday, but today we also commemorate the first shots of the American Revolution, fired at Old North Bridge in Concord. The event was memorialized by Ralph Waldo Emerson in his 1837 poem Concord Hymn: “Here once the embattled farmers stood, /And fired the shot heard round the world.” Honor your modern farmers through your enjoyment of delicious organic produce, and take some bites heard round the world. And if you see our vans this week, feel free to shout out, “The green boxes are coming! The green boxes are coming!”

April is National Poetry Writing Month. We here at Boston Organics are partial to rhyme and alliteration, and employ these and other devices freely as we wax poetic about our favorite subject: organic fruits and veggies.
You’ll see our vans trundling round city blocks,
Bearing the fruits of vines and beanstalks.
Such wonderful loot,
Lots of veggies and fruit;
What goodies will be in my box?

Since the beginning of daylight savings time, longer days have mostly meant longer evenings. The lingering afternoon sun can create a sense of abundance, of light and of time. But it can also be an uncomfortable and awkward season, with unpredictable precipitation and scraps of warmth. How many layers do I need? Darn, should have brought an umbrella.
There's one thing you can count on in this mercurial in-between season: your Boston Organics box will keep things fun, fresh and delicious.
