Veggies Week #9

Finally all caught up!

This week's farm delivery had a pleasant surprise - fresh flowers! A colorful little splash of summer! I like the variety; arrangements with all the same flowers can be a bit dull sometimes.


Lettuce has taken a hiatus until fall. Now we have green onions in the back, along with squash and cucumbers.


Some beautiful red onions, garlic bulb, tomatoes, and parsley.


The garlic has been excellent. These fresh ones have a stronger flavor than store-bought, with just the right hint of sweet, and a velvety texture. It's been a joy adding them to burgers, pasta sauces, and mashed potatoes.

Speaking of potatoes, we also got more of those, ripe for mashing!


At some point, we also want to try our hand at potato salad. We'll probably wait until another batch of the reddish ones.
