Organic Vegetables

[Guest guest]

My husband and I went up to our local organic farmer¹s house this afternoon.

I think we were there. We walked around with him while he picked.

 

We got: chard, garlic (probably about 10 bulbs), spinach, broccoli,

eggplant, lettuce, purple basil, green basil, just a little cilantro (he

didn¹t have much of that), a lot of different varieties of tomatoes as I¹m

going to make and can salsa, different varieties of hot peppers, fennel and

bok choi. I think that¹s it. $13. I don¹t think there is much of anything

he doesn¹t grow. I¹m looking forward to his sweet potatoes and brussel

sprouts.

 

He¹s also really good to tell you how to cook things....I ask a lot of

questions. He ran me off a recipe for poppers. He¹s really sort of an

organic Luther Burbank. He can give you history lessons on different types

of plants. He does his own crossing and saves his seeds. He doesn¹t waste

anything. He said he took a bag full of peppers into the Mexican restaurant

the other day and told them he would trade them for $9 of anything off the

menu, to which they rapidly agreed.

 

My sister ran over walnuts for me the other night, just because she was

here. She said just let them dry out. Don¹t let them get wet. We will

move them in a layer just inside the barn door in case of rain.
