What’s at Market? Week of June 1st
June 1st, 2009 Posted in Recipes, What's @ Market ?Today (Monday) was a day of interesting and exciting times. First, uncovering our row cover that was shrouding our winter squash and summer squash from cucumber beetles, we discovered a interesting carpet of weeds. Ah yes. the cover encourages growth of the wanted plants as well as the unwanted plants. 
This is the before shot. I’ll post an after shot in another day or so.
But onto better things: Broccoli and Cauliflower.
It’s like a farmer’s Christmas: Waiting for new crops to come in. Well today was a jackpot. Broccoli, Cauliflower, Cilantro, Napa Cabbage, Parsley, Scallions, Walla Walla Sweet Onions, and even a few Strawberries! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah. (I reserve the finger press on the ‘h’ key for very special occasions like this)
So that was nice. We’d been in a spring “I can’t wait for more summer like crops and neither can our loyal market goers” funk.
Hope this helps.
Then to finish the day we had a serious storm front move through with rain. Yeah, that’s right. I said rain. In June. Go figure. It was awesome. Thunder and everything.
So now I’m amped up to be at market with our tables full with all the produce. Bring on the bounty!
