Week 9

Kale 

Salad - I thought the salad of baby lettuces tasted great last week so we are going to do it again!

Persian Cucumbers -  Here is a short piece in the LA Times about the rise of this style of cucumber from 2011.  It was very interesting to me and probably somewhat interesting to those who garden and like to grow cucumbers.  The rest of you might want to skip it :).  We grew these for the first time probably about 10 years ago.  The seed was given to us by a friend's dad who is from Iran.  They didn't really catch on with us though and we didn't grow them again until about three years ago.  They are great.  They are excellent in smashed cucumber salads which I am a big fan of - the New York Times has a good recipe but there are many out there.
