Recent Harvests

Few SunGold Cherry Tomatoes, Eggplants and Baby Carrots. I dumped all the remaining 2 year old carrots seeds into a pot and most of them germinated, crowding the pot and many didn't get enough room to grow. But its fun to see what these teeny tiny seeds can grow into.

Potato Leek soup for Dinner

 

I had to search for a recipe to finish the leeks which I got from CSA share. It turned out quite rich with flavor and filling for a wholesome dinner along with some bread. Ingredients used are Leeks, yellow potatoes, heavy cream, Cumin powder, chilli powder, butter, salt and some parsley for garnishing.

CSA Bounty Basket - Aug 22nd

 

Here is the list - Romaine Lettuce, pickling cukes, swiss chard, zucchinni, tomatoes, scallions, eggplant, beans, peppers, nectarines, zinnia, celosia. I simply love celosia, I did grow them long time back and now I feel I should have taken out sometime in spring to get some containers. Here is link to what I did before. We are getting overloaded with lettuce this year. We do enjoy salads but used to eat more spring mix than lettuce. I am not complaining but are enjoying fresh Lettuce:)

Whats growing??
