Week 9

Radicchio is in the share this week and ideally oiled and grilled for optimum flavor. We've started harvesting the soft neck garlic that you'll need to keep refrigerated. The rest will arrive dry and cured in about a month but we couldn't resist sampling some early. Braiding is so much fun and looks beautiful hanging in the kitchen. A garlic butter makes a great addition to leafy greens, casserole crusts and baked potatoes. You'll also find some of the regulars this week like Pablo lettuce, Nasturtium Flowers, Radishes, Kale and Mustard Greens. There is also some Royal Burgundy Bush Beans that change from purple to green when you cook them. Finally, you'll find a bag of True Arugula. The previous seed packs were mystifying me as I kept getting mustard greens. Rest assured you're eating Arugula this week! Tomatoes are in the forecast next week with Squash Blossoms.
Happy Huckleberry Days
