July 10 Delivery
This week’s share of the harvest included fennel, two types of snap beans, summer squash, parsley, kohlrabi, carrots, sugar snap peas, shell peas and gold beets.This is the end of the pea harvest and their space on the farm will be filled by pole beans that will be transplanted tomorrow.My mom is visiting tonight and Leah made a stir-fry dish with lots of our fresh vegetables.I love the Dragon snap beans; they are tender and sweet when sautéed in a stir-fry.We have friends who enjoy our fennel by slicing the bulb and grilling it and then topping it with a dressing of mayonnaise and the fronds from the fennel.How are you fixing your share of the harvest this week?Click on the comment section below and tell us what you are eating.
Peace,

Thanks, Johnny and Leah ~ the best veggies ever! We may be needing to upgrade to the full-share next year, though. Just the two of us make short order of the half-share.
Much of it is consumed, raw, with freshly made vinaigrette... otherwise, we often just do a simple veggie stir-fry on the grill with olive oil, fresh herbs - and a little lemon or balsamic reduction to finish.
We have guests coming on Friday and were wondering what may be coming our way ???
Be well ~
Hi Donna,
Glad you are enjoying your share of the harvest! Your meals sound delicious. This Friday our tentative bags look like they will include black and red raspberries, snap beans, mixed saute greens, fennel, kohlrabi, the last of the shell peas, summer squash, and maybe cucumbers.
Thanks for your feedback,
Johnny
