Broccoli, Cauliflower, and Cabbage

At my parents house we are growing broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage (and brussles sprouts).  Cabbage and cauliflower are new ones for us.  Here are some photos:




CSA Delivery - A bit heartbreaking this week...

Here is what I took home today:

Melons
Onions
Beets 
Basil
Corn
Cauliflower

This week was a bit heartbreaking when I opened my box and found dozens of tomatoes, a few peppers, and lots of little potatoes, nightshades galor!  Fortunately the swap bin had two extra melons, gold beets, and more white and red onions, all great additions to the week.

I made a quick pesto with the basil, kale I still have growing at home, walnuts, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.  It was really tasty with supper and it will taste good on some eggs tomorrow morning.
