• .25 oz. arugula
• 1 zucchini/squash
• 5 beets
• 8 oz. carrots or (? another item I can’t remember)
• 3 onions
• 1 garlic
• 5 sprigs basil
• .15 oz. salad mix
• 3 radishes
• 1 hot pepper
• 1 jalepeno pepper
• 1 spaghetti squash, pie pumpkin, or acorn squash
• 1 handful cilantro
• 8 oz. beans
• 1 sweet pepper
• 1.5 lbs. potatoes
• 1 head lettuce
• I took 3 tomatoes from the “help yourself” pile

I will use the carrots, salad mix, head of lettuce, sweet pepper, radishes, and tomatoes for snacking and salads.  I will make sesame green beans with a dinner later this week.  I will probably make french fries out of the potatoes.  I will saute the arugula and zucchini with garlic.  I have never made spaghetti squash before, but there are lots of recipes out there, so that will be a side dish sometime this week.  I have lots of beets (leftovers plus from our garden) so I would like to try pickled beets.  I think that leaves hot peppers and herbs.  Don’t know what I’ll do with those yet – maybe freeze them.

I spent my day at the farm harvesting basil, beets, arugula and beans.  I washed lots of arugula and lettuce heads.  And I chatted with my co-workers about everything from recipes to raising kids to wilderness survival!  The time goes quickly when you are surrounded by good people and good conversation.  Thanks to Jon, Beth,  Christine, Dawn, Emily, Fern, Francie, John, Lisa, Victoria and Vince for helping my day pass quickly and happily!  Here are a few pictures from my day at the farm…
