Good times! Super hot out there on the farm, glad I wore sunscreen but probably need a hat next time. It’s probably 20 degrees hotter there than it is in the redwoods where we live.

Thoughts
I’ve been so busy with work, cooking has been fairly utilitarian, but at least filled with the freshest possible vegetables. Also making a constant flow of veggie stock adds to the larder.
Harvest Time!
Love the Purple Daikon, the Cipollini Onions and the different Cukes. Missed the Chicory though, shoot. Next time!
What’s Cooking
Got home, made some baked cod with Daikon, Summer Squash and Carrots, along with a nice mixed green salad. An omelette tonight. Basic stuff, but so fresh.
