This week's harvest - turnips, carrots, kale, fennel, lettuce, radishes, Napa cabbage, broccoli, beets, green onions, strawberries!! The flowers are not from the Winter Green Farm but from another stall. They were so pretty that I couldn't resist.
.
We've already started eating our bounty. Had C. over for lunch and we had a salad which included some lettuce, beet greens, turnip greens, kale, radishes, broccoli and carrots. Still have plenty more.
.
Last week we also had kale and we tried one of the recipes that was included from the farm. And both B. and I found that we liked kale just fine. Very tasty! This week we'll try Napa Cabbage Slaw and also Braised Fennel with Parmesan.
.
This week I ordered a salad spinner, something I never have thought necessary. However, now that B. & have have salad so often, I find it invaluable and am sorry I waited so long to get it! I've also ordered an electric vegetable chopper but that hasn't arrived yet. It's amazing how much chopping there is with all these vegetables and I think it'll turn out to be quite handy.

As far as our own little garden in our yard, the peas are ready to eat. There are not a lot of them but they add a nice touch to salads. We've got some tomatoes growing, too, but so far they are still green.

we have a salad spinner too. it seems ridiculous at first but if you eat a lot of salad, particularly w/ locally grown (ie, non supermarket) lettuce, it is invaluable.
