Finally some peas and beans. Two types of peas - the larger flat Sweet Peas and the thicker Snap Peas. Both should be eaten with their shells. The large pods are Broad Beans. Not too many beans ready yet, but here's some info on grilling them when they are young and tender. They are nice in soup or on pasta. I have more than 100 plants, so there will be much more.
First of the strawberries was available this week - many more to come for the next few weeks. There will be more rhubarb in the next box too - they go so well together.
The bunch of herbs is Greek Oregano, which is mild. It can be dried by hanging it upside down and this will also intensify the flavour.
The bunch of curly leaves is Curly Kale. I found a good article on the benefits of massaging Kale http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/18/how-to-massage-kale_n_1601200.html
