Harvest

Yummy! It is harvest season up here and I finally got my first sungold tomato (not shown, but it was sweet) and my first yellow crook neck squash! It may look small, but it's mature and tasty... the plant itself is miniature due to the lack of space. (There is also a large squash plant that will be done soon as well). I pulled out the first target beet, rings of red and white flesh and on the back of the beet there was a small red beet. Both were delicious. The late cilantro has really taken off. And our new artichoke plant started producing. This is the first of four or more; we'll see if we get to them before the aphids. We have already harvest four or five artichokes from our year old plant; but it has gone to flower since we lost our battle with the aphids.

For dinner I steamed the beets the squash and some purple potatoes from the Ed Farm CSA down the street. I chopped cilantro and basil and mixed all together with a cider vinegar dressing..... Surprisingly good! We also had steamed artichoke with tartar sauce (out of goddess dressing- our favorite dipper for the chokes) and tri-tip from the tri-tip guy. YUMMY!!!

I can't wait until the next bounty!
