Vendor: Fairbanks Farmstand & Nursery

freshly picked and ready to eat fresh or pickle or grill, yes grill. We have been grilling every night around here and I think we have accidentally started onto a Paleo diet of sorts. So many veggies go on the grill these days, including green beans! Oil them and try not to loose them to the fire, they don't take long to cook. It is possible and worth the effort!!

Lamb's quarters
Menu Group: Food
Section: Vegetables
Category: Greens
.
Vendor: Rasmussen Farm

Lamb's quarters are mild greens, a great alternative to spinach. According to Steve Brill they are "one of the best sources of beta-carotene, calcium, potassium, and iron in the world; also a great source of trace minerals, B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, and fiber." Most gardeners view them as weeds, but the fact that they grow readily doesn't keep them from being really tasty.

A 3 pack Sampler: Try a Magda - light green and pear shaped, Zephyr - yellow with green tip, tender, not at all like the old yellow crooked neck squash, and the more typical green zucchini. All Small to Medium sized and tender.

Magda - new from Johnny's - flavorful: Pear shaped. Very good! More flavor than green Zucchini and even more than yellow Zephyr

Zephyr - yellow with green tip - small to medium sized: Distinctive with a green tip during hot weather - tender and, we think, the best of any yellow summer squash. Naturally grown.
