July 24th Dundas

Veggie Box contents:

- Eggs

- Spinach - going to seed, but will replant some for fall, arugula also

- Potatoes - Yukon gold and Russian blue.  roasting intensifies the blue while boiling will fade it.

- Chard - I have planted some yellow and pink chards for the fall.

- Snap peas - smooth shell.  sweet and you can eat the whole thing.

- Shelling peas - rough shell.  fibrous, so only eat the peas.

- Broad beans - do not eat the shells, very spongy.

- Collard greens

- Herb mix.  mild Greek oregano, chives, and basil.

- Beets.  golden beets are very juicy and sweet, great for shredding into salads.
              save the beet greens!  check out last entry for Vij's recipe for them.
