In the garden harvest basket this week:
salad greens: peashoots with beautiful pink and purple pea shoot flowers and other edible flowers: nasturtiums and calendula petals…..
sunflower shoots and/or purple radish shoots
new potatoes
garlic scapes
baby dill and chives
If you’re receiving the baskets at your doorstep please do remember to let me know if you’d like to switch to the light canvas cloth bags for your salad greens…I think it’s a good idea to cut down on all the plastic bags we use. The greens keep really well in the fridge in them too…..
See a couple posts below for a garlic scape pesto recipe.
And here’s one of my favourite peashoot salad ideas:
crumble some feta cheese in a medium size bowl, mix with a little olive oil and some garlic scape pesto, a squeeze of half a lemon and a little black pepper….toss the pea shoots with this mixture…..SO good…and good for ya too….don’t forget to add some flowers, orange and yellow nasturtiums are really pretty and delicious too! Enjoy!
oh yum. do you deliver to langley!! 😉
everything looks so good christina!
what kind of salad bags are you using. weve been playing with the idea for the CSA but are having a hard time getting 50 people to agree to use and return cloth bags!

yes, it's a challenge to make the cloth bags work…(another step for folks, with washing them, returning them and then they can't see inside, etc…) It takes time to shift our mindset. I've been thinking about looking for a see-thru re-usable mesh bag but then there's still the practical problem of everyone remembering to return them. A work in progress. I'll look up the info re where I got them…it was afew years ago now.
Thank you for the links! So great to see your photos and the Glorious blog is fabulous. I'm going to enjoy following….
see you! C
