During today's harvest, I noticed that there is some sort of animal feasting on my green tomatoes. This always happens at the beginning of the harvest season (that is one of the reasons we grow lots of tomatoes) but it is frustrating nonetheless when there seems to be a bite out of all your best specimens!
Instead of being too upset about it, though, I decided to cut off the gnawed parts and make these beauties into fried green tomatoes.
Now these divine morsels match the rest of the delicious veggies I harvested today.
This week’s CSA basket included: green and butter crunch leaf lettuce, small heads of red leaf lettuce, chard, baby turnips, Parisian carrots, jalapeños, a yellow zucchini, strawberry spinach berries, half of a huge Chinese cabbage, a red cabbage, peas, daikon radishes, red radishes, licorice basil, lime basil, sweet basil, dill, kale, red onions and scallions, a sweet walla walla onion, chocolate mint, apple mint, oregano, sage, daikon micro greens, wasabi mustard micro greens, red clover micro greens, raspberries and a dozen farm fresh eggs.
This week’s bonus item was a jar of Queen Anne’s Lace jelly.
I am with Alistair on this one, all this looking on the bright side might be delicious and nutritious but it is also exhausting.
