Farmers Market Heaven

It that wonderous time of year where the summer harvest is reaching its peak. At the farmer's market today I managed to get my hands on these beautiful fruits and veggies (and meat!).Yes, those are red carrots, purple green beans, yellow zucchini, and although you can't see it, those beets are a red and white swirl in the middle. I know they will be as delicious as they are gorgeous!

Spring Harvest

It is only the beginning of June but we are ready to harvest our first vegetable...and the winner is: rhubarb! Rhubarb is very hearty, and grows without a lot of effort from us. When I pick the rhubarb in the next couple days I will think of my good friend Shelly, who lives in San Jose, and makes an excellent fig-rhubarb jam. Wish she was closer! John's mother, Kay, who happens to be visiting us this weekend, is probably the best pie maker around. Lucky us! If you are in the area, stop by this weekend for some amazing rhubarb pie.
