We have finally had some heat, and the gardens are really starting to come along well. Now, we need rain... We seem to always get too much rain, or too little rain, but never 'just right' rain. I feel like Goldilocks in rain land...!!
I come from a family who ate good, healthy, traditional type meals, but nothing really creative. Just your regular fare. As a result, I had never tasted Kale until about 6 months ago, I have never had a fresh squash or zucchini from the garden, and until last night, I had never, ever tasted a fava bean. Last night was my first night to harvest some from my garden. Then, I found myself in a dilhemma. I had no idea how to prepare fava beans! I did some research, and found this fabulous site- tells you when/how to harvest, and a zillion ways to prepare all your veggies. I can't wait until more things mature, so I can harvest and try some of the recipes out!

Check it out! Especially you CSA members... although, I think my members know more about the veggies than I do;-)!
