Doorstep Harvest Newsletter 2-9-2013
All produce this week is organically grown in my winter high tunnel.
Root Bag:
Diakon Radish: Overwintered well:)
Watermelon Radish: Debut the watermelon radish. Planted last fall, it overwintered, and is now ready to harvest. Called “watermelon” because of the red interior. Johnny’s catalogue states that it “has a remarkably sweet, delicious taste.”
Beet: tasty sliced into salad, boiled, or baked. Please use delicious greens in salad (I think that is best) or stir fry (braising mix).
Carrot: biggest (two) carrots I’ve ever grown! Woah. Obviously great eaten whole, or grated into salad.
Braising mix: just stir-fry them. One tablespoon of Mirin, added near the end, adds to the flavor. Adding sesame seeds also makes it taste great to me.
Salad mix: Tastes great!
Spinach: I think it tastes great!
Sprouts: mung bean and lentil. Add to salad or stir-fry.
