Harvest Notes August 12, 2010

Written by Dana Blizzard

• Violet Stringless Beans mixed with other violet bush beans - you may not notice, but there are actually two purple varieties here
• Mokum Carrots - my favorite because they are so sweet and crisp!
• Walla Walla onion - We enjoyed the onion ring recipe so much we started using the batter to fry other things - try the zucchini - yumm!
• Lemon Cucumbers for the half shares and Marketmore Cuc's for the fulls (with a few exceptions)
• Zucchini squash - including patty pans for the full shares
• Kohlrabi for the halves and snow peas for the full shares. Kohlrabi is the bulb-like cabbage in with the carrots and beans. After destemming and peeling, you eat the bulb (raw or cooked) as you would any cabbage. You can discard the leaves or use the kale chip recipe to make them into kohlrabi chips!
• Salad blend - Sunset red leaf lettuce mixed with a bit of short romaine lettuce and a few leaves of arugula for a bit of spice!
