* Fingerling potatoes are generally longer and thinner than other potatoes. Some can be quite small. They are of an ideal size for roasting or stewing. The flavor is also special.
** Radicchio looks like a purple and white head of cabbage. It is eaten raw in salads. There are many good recipes for radicchio salads online.
*** Beet greens can be eaten raw or cooked.
GENERAL REMINDER: Wash and inspect your veg before eating! We are entering cabbage-looper season. Cabbage-loopers are green worms that love brassicas (kale, cabbage, broccoli etc). We recommend soaking your broccoli in salted water for ten minutes before washing and eating. The loopers will vacate the florets more quickly in salted water.
CUTTING GARDEN TODAY: The cutting garden has plentiful delights! Please take several bunches of herbs and a large bouquet.
