Veggies! Details ~~ Written about last week's veggies!

I got busy or lost internet service or something.  Forgot to publish this!

The carrots are our favorite early variety - Mokum.  They don't get much bigger than the size you got, but they are early and so sweet!  We have 2 other varieties growing that will be harvested in the next month.

Have you eaten Kohlrabi before?  It's something we started growing in the early 70s and has become a standard salad veggie.  Peel it and slice it.  Eat plain or sauté or use as a dipping vegetable or slice or grate into a salad.  We usually eat our raw.  The purple ones are only purple on the outside (darn).

The head lettuces are a Batavian variety called Sierra, and a Romaine.  Neither have liked the really hot weather we had recently.

Cilantro is one of those herbs that some people love and others think tastes like soap and is yucky.  We personally all like it a lot.  It can be used in salads or cooking, or as a garnish.

What's coming in your CSA shares in the next few weeks?  We ate a pingpong sized red new potato yesterday!  Just one...  Peas are blooming;  broccoli heads are forming.

Garden work:  We worked till 9:30pm last night transplanting more melon plants, broccoli plants, climbing Suhyo Cross cucumbers, and ornamental sunflowers into the garden.  There are many more brassicas (broccoli, cabbages, cauliflowers) to plant seed for, transplant into cells and eventually transplant into the garden.  Maintenance ~  weed weed weed / water water water. Keep the raccoons, deer, turkeys, and cows :-)  out of the gardens!
