Maybe I can save some space, and just tell you what you got that is new? A pattipan squash, basil, a garlic plant, a couple radishes, a small (tiny?) onion that Doro managed to salvage for each of you, the first of the tomatoes and peppers, and a kohlrabi. Now, some more detailed notes on some things:
Garlic -- there is such nice bite to them when they are green like this. Or, leave in your pantry a couple of months, and it will mute down a bit and taste like garlic from the store :)
Beets -- don't forget, you can enjoy their greens, too!
Radishes -- ...same story (although some don't like the spiciness of the leaves)
Kohlrabi -- greens taste like a cross between broccoli and cabbage and can be eaten (although some don't like the slight bitterness)... the bulbous part of the stalk can be sliced thin and eaten like chips, or grated and made into a slaw. You might be able to get away with cooking it... although we've never done that with them
Pattipan -- Lovely flavor, look up a recipe!
Lettuces -- As we say hello to some kinds of goodness (tomatoes, for example), we have to say goodbye to others. These are the last that we can take out of the garden, that we feel OK with putting in your baskets. Enjoy them, and thank them for their collective service this late spring
As always, if you find a particularly yum way in your preparations / noshings, do comment and share it!
Matt and the gang
