Week 7 

We started picking green beans, cucumbers and tomatoes out of the field this week. The cukes and the beans are out of the gate with a bang, enough for everyone.  The tomatoes are a little slower to start and there aren't many of them.  We have over 200 cherry tomatoes planted so there will be plenty for everyone very soon.

Lettuce - Romaine
Salad Mix - Large Only
Cucumbers 
Carrots
Green Beans
Bunched Pearl Onions
Potatoes
Flat Leaf Parsley 
Cherry Tomatoes - Large Only
Bell Pepper - The variety is Flavorburst.  It starts out light green and turns to yellow.  The catalog claims it has a slight citrus taste.  Either they are just trying to sell seed or our tastes buds are not refined enough to detect citrus.  Regardless, it is early and sets a lot of fruit and is one of our favorites to grow.

Green Bean Recipe

Scooter's Grilled Green Beans with Blue Cheese

This recipe came from a customer.  I never would have thought to mix blue cheese and beans but it is delicious.

Green Beans
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper
Crumbled Blue Cheese

On a piece of aluminum foil toss the green beans with olive oil, salt and pepper.  Set foil on a medium hot grill.  Turn frequently with tongs until green beans have softened and browned a bit.  Top beans with crumbled cheese and remove from heat as soon a cheese begins to soften, almost immediately.
