With visions of fresh vegetables dancing in my head, there was no rain stopping me from being an early bird at the farmers market today! Last week my haul was pretty much green...asparagus, spinach, bok choy...this week we introduced some red - Radishes and Rhubarb!!
I've actually never cooked or even bought rhubarb before but I'm looking forward to experimenting. I've heard such rave reviews about it for years now and I know the Strawberry Rhubarb pie was a big seller at Duffield's in NJ where I worked during college breaks.
Radishes on the other hand I have tried and I really do think Dann would love them, their crispness with a little heat/bite seems right up his alley. Now I need to find the right recipe to entice Dann....
Now I'm off to don my yellow rain suit and try to get some of the seedlings planted, after hours farming is far more stressful than I had imagined. We are way behind on tilling, installing irrigation and planting than I had hoped for, but alas, I know it will all work out and we will have a wonderful harvest! I'm off to play in the mud!!
