Anyway, T brought me home a new gardenia plant this week! I had one for over a year, but when we were at my in laws, for 4 days, at Christmas, and left the heat off, the poor thing couldn't take it and died. I was so sad, but T was kind enough to surprise me with a new one! Here is Ginger checking it out..
I haven't posted a picture of my co-op box is awhile. I still get one every other Thursday, I just always forget to take pictures. This one has onions, apples, mushrooms, Florida avocados, starfruit, grape tomatoes, red grapefruit, broccoli, carrots, Swiss chard, a cucumber, lettuce and bananas. 
Here is the bag of greens (lettuce and Swiss chard).
I dove right and grabbed the only rip star fruit and sliced it up. This are amazing!
And finally, a picture of the lovely flower already in bloom on my gardenia.
Have a nice weekend! :)

I adore gardenia! I so wish I had one, but the weather here is too cold for them, and no one sells them anyway. Last summer I was in Texas, and a store was selling them. Since I couldn't really drive back with the big plant, I "stole" a flower and kept smelling it until it dried up. :)
I love Gardenia! and What a beautiful post;-]

Mmmm, bet your house smells heavenly. Mr. T is a good guy. I think you should keep him.
Confession: I've never tasted a star fruit.

The Candle79 dinner= have fun!
Star fruit & the gardenia = beautiful!!

i would love to get a produce box, so fun!!!
The contents of your veg box look lovely. I wish I could get over to my allotment and pick some leeks and sprouts.
I don't think I have ever seen or smelled a gardenia. Looks gorgeous.
Wow you make me want to get a CSA! I've really been thinking about it but keep worrying I'd get random stuff - all of those things in there I would totally eat!
Impressed you can keep your flower alive. I've killed four cacti already.
That is a gorgeous gardenia. It looks just like a flower made out of frosting. So pretty!
Enjoy your fresh coop goods. I admit to being a little jealous. :D
The co-op box looks awesome, so much good stuff in there. And enjoy Candle79, I STILL need to get there!

Gardenias are so pretty and are so fragrant. It's one of my mom's faves too so we always had one around growing up.
Beautiful gardenia! Looks like Ginger thought so, too ;)

Aww, you have a cute little pooch! I just started reading your blog and I'm hooked. I love how balanced your lifestyle is. Though you rather make me miss my farmers' market! -grumbles about being car-less in LA-
Your co-op box looks absolutely BURSTING with goodness -- and those avocadoes are really huge!
