What a delight it is

When, of a morning,

I get up and go out

To find in full bloom a flower

That yesterday was not there.

Dear Friends,
     Could anyone ask for more beautiful weather for working in the gardens?  So much to do and longer days are like buying a tractor with headlights!  So, here’s what’s coming up.  A double crop of lettuce is in so you’ll be getting a double bag again.  We’ll go back to one head of lettuce in a couple of weeks.  This week is the beginning of a couple of weeks of Swiss Chard and possibly spinach.  This crop of Nordic spinach was so good.
     Here is a link to a lot of good looking recipes.  Many I’ve tried, adapting to my style of cooking, like you have yours, and hope you’ll find some new ideas.
Oh, and the yams are delicious with chard or spinach.
Other News:  We have back our liability insurance and welcome again volunteers.  Every pair of hands makes a difference even if just for an hour.  Email the office and I’ll be in touch for a time.
    Our chickens are producing again, so take advantage and order from our Seabreeze Green Store.
     All on-line orders and referrals for new stakeholders welcomed and appreciated.
     We’re always grateful for our loyal supporters.  This last food producing farm in Carmel Valley is important for a lot of reasons and donations always welcomed!
     Hope you’re enjoying and benefiting from your deliveries.  A lot of old fashioned hard work and planning makes it possible.  And grown with love and care..of course.
     Call or email me if you need cooking tips.  Happy to oblige.
