Dear Friends, 

 

It has been so dry here that even the volunteer nasturiums have been wilting so was so happy to be awakened last night by the pitter patter of rain falling.  Although chilly today for harvesting, the leaves of trees and crops are washed clean and everything smells so sweet.

 

The first of the delicious spring green garlic is here.  These are not scallions/green onions and are wonderful in a variety of dishes.  Here are some ideas:  Green garlic recipes

 

Did you know that purple potatoes  have all the nuturitional benenfits of regular potatoes with specal qualities that purportedly lower blook pressure? ..Purple potatoes and health benefits.  If you need a cooking suggestion, this one uses the mushrooms too and the herbs we sent can be subsitutued for tarragon.  Purple potatoes and mushroom recipe

 

On a last note, we have used the services of Marysol for many years (10)here at the farm to help with cleaning chores and special events.  She and her friend Eva drive from Tijuana and are competent, honest, careful and experienced.  They are responsible and dependable. They are looking for a family home for regular cleaning on Tuesday's and would be best if it is in the coastal area of San Diego south of Del Mar.  If you are interested, please let me know and I'll help connect.  Marysol learned her English from a mission when she was younger and it shouldn't be a problem. 

 

Please keep your notes and comments coming.  I read them all.

 

 

Enjoy in good health.
