Chickens and Lettuce

As much as I hoped that a new mobile app would help me blog more, it hasn't.  It's ok to post a picture or two, but it's not for writing lengthy pieces of text.  So, instead of slowly writing a post on my phone, I'll just send my self an email from my desktop and then copy/paste the text in the mobile app.  Why don't I just post from my PC you ask?  Well, Blogger is blocked at work.  These past few weeks at home have been too busy for me to log on as well.  I'm still trying to get into a routine, but it's really not working! 
 
I would like to get some chickens sooner rather than later.  I have recently received the Meyer Hatchery and the Murray McMurray catalouges and have been narrowing them down to a few friendly breeds that would be good egg layers but also good pets!  I really hope the kids (two girls, 7&9) will be involved with them.  They are not with us all of the time and are generally not used to country living, and a bit skiddish around anything that is unknown to them.  I know it just takes time, but it can be quite frustrating.  At the same time, I am sure that they get frustrated with me too when I try to force new things on them. 
 
This weekend the Gardener Guy and I are going to have our first delivery of the new CSA season.  It won't be much this time.  A bag of arugula and another loose leaf lettuce as well as some mustard greens.  I want to give these people EVERYTHING we've got because I just want happy customers.  I feel really bad even when things are out of my control.  We've had a couple of freezes/frosts knock out some of our veggies which forces us to reset the clock.  Generally speaking, people don't like to wait.  It's also hard for people to learn about what it takes to grow veggies and don't understand what it means to loose something you've already paid for to the cold.  The stuff that we lost was even covered!  But again, not everyone is so understanding and will be disappointed with the system.
 
So, lettuce.  I'm having difficulty trying to figure out how to package loose leaf lettuces.  I don't really want to be using zip-top bags all the time, but lettuce is sorta finicky regarding heat and humidity.  It likes to wilt rapidly, so unless it's going right from the garden to my kitchen, I need to put it in a container to deliver it to my customers because we typically harvest the night before the delivery.  Any suggestions?
