2nd Delivery
Tuesday, May 24, 2011 and Friday, May 27, 2011
Everything that is in the ground is doing really great. The tomato plants already have yellow blossoms! However, it is difficult to get things in the ground when it rains so frequently. One thing we can’t control is the weather, so we will continue to do our very best.
The lettuce we harvested from today looks fantastic! I hope that everyone is enjoying the yummy salads- I know we are. Also, today you will receive you first garlic scapes! For those of you that are not familiar with a garlic scape; you are in for a great treat. The scapes are the immature flower/seed of the hard neck garlic. It can be used just like garlic or like a garlic flavored green onion. I like to dip them, chop them for salads, blend them into dressings and toss them in a stir-fry. I think you will really love them!
Take care and enjoy the week,
Anne and Adam

Just had the beet greens sautéed with pine nuts and some of the garlic scapes! AMAZING!!!! Baby beet greens are a recent discovery for me, and I am totally in love with them.
ReplyDeleteBeen loving the salad greens, too. :-)
