Beautiful Veggies
This week's veggie selection includes:

Kale (or Chard)- We like kale a *tiny* bit better than chard, so I went with the kale.
Beans- can't wait for the first fresh beans of the season. I snacked on a few raw as I was putting them away.
Beets (or Turnips)- a tough choice, but Susannah's love of beets won out.
Dill (or Cilantro)- I have cilantro in my garden, so this was an easy choice.
Tomatoes
Extra Tomatoes (or peppers or broccoli)- broccoli was all gone, and we don't care for peppers, so extra tomatoes it was! The tomatoes are so sweet and juicy, I've been eating a lot of them as I walk by.
Onions- had a few of the greens with some tomatoes as I was putting things away.
Scapes (bonus item!)- tried some BBQ's at Kylah's suggestion- delicious! Also used some in the turnip pasta as we didn't have any other forms of garlic in the house. They worked out quite nicely.
Potatoes (or Carrots)- I actually chose the carrots but they were gone. It was a tough choice though, so I'm quite happy with the potatoes- planning to do roasted potatoes with dill.
Zucchini- my fav! Not sure what we'll do with it yet, but it will be delicious!

As you can tell, I must have been hungry as I was putting the veggies away. I had a nice little fresh veggie snack of green beans, tomatoes, dill, and onion greens! I also had the last handful of peas from last week. Despite the drought conditions, the vegetables we're receiving have been outstanding. Kudos to Rainbow Heritage Garden for all of their hard work in continuing to deliver such amazing produce.
