this week's basket

In the garden harvest basket this week:
salad greens: peashoots with beautiful pink and purple pea shoot flowers and other edible flowers: nasturtiums and calendula petals.....
sunflower shoots and/or purple radish shoots
new potatoes
garlic scapes
baby dill and chives

If you're receiving the baskets at your doorstep please do remember to let me know if you'd like to switch to the light canvas cloth bags for your salad greens...I think it's a good idea to cut down on all the plastic bags we use. The greens keep really well in the fridge in them too.....

See a couple posts below for a garlic scape pesto recipe.

And here's one of my favourite peashoot salad ideas:
crumble some feta cheese in a medium size bowl, mix with a little olive oil and some garlic scape pesto, a squeeze of half a lemon and a little black pepper....toss the pea shoots with this mixture.....SO good...and good for ya too....don't forget to add some flowers, orange and yellow nasturtiums are really pretty and delicious too! Enjoy!
