That's a good way to describe it. This weekend, we had turnip hash
browns, which were surprisingly good since my previous experience with
turnips was less than edible. Last night a dishe of pattypan, swiss
chard, and fresh garlic, with roasted purple potatoes and seasoned
haddock. Now all that's left is the mustard greens which I've been
using for salad, and tomorrow we pick up the new share. I hear rumors
there will be beans, beans, and more beans. The corn, tomatoes and
peppers are thriving, the pumpkins are setting fruit, and all is right
with the (farm)world.
