Happy Springy Summer!

For those of you who have been getting shares either from my farm or someone else's in the area, you may have tried the usual preparation routine with radishes which are in abundance in the cool weather. Along with lettuce and various greens as well, baby carrots are sure to be a part of the early offerings and all is not lost when you cut off the greens of these babies. A few of my subscribers have been eating the green tops in sautees and purees as they do taste better cooked than raw. As with all food allergies, some may be sensitive to it's properties and may not be able to eat them.
Follow this link for information as to one idea for what to do with them.

Here are some recipes for radishes as well. Remember folks, you can eat the tops of the radishes as well as the root. Surprised to know the tops taste like radishes :)? Of course they do!

Out to the field I go, heard it is going to be sunny for next few days, nice to be able to work outside of the rain!

Til later....
