Week 6 brought me a great surprise! First fruits! That is, zucchini, summer squash, green pepper and tomatoes. Broccoli also made it’s debut, and I couldn’t be more excited!! It’s the middle of July and I expect from here on out that it’s only going to get better!

Week 6 brought me a great surprise! First fruits!  That is, zucchini, summer squash, green pepper and tomatoes. Broccoli also made it’s debut, and I couldn’t be more excited!! It’s the middle of July and I expect from here on out that it’s just going to get better!

Look at these beautiful greens!! We took the entire 1 pound bag and made a huge salad for a group dinner on Saturday night.  Red peppers, tomatoes, salad greens and red wine vinaigrette.  It was delicious! Our friends from Colorado were loving it! You don’t get greens like these in Colorado.

I have a lot to play with this week.  I’m excited to share a recipe that will include the broccoli, pepper, tomatoes, zucchini and squash.  Since there was no lettuce this week, and the greens are all gone, I’ll be using the chard as a salad substitute. (I already got started on the chard today!)  The kale is being made into a crispy recipe that I will also share later this week.  Yum yum yum!!
