  1. Organic Salad Mixes - Growing the Perfect Combination

    For many farmers, salad mix is the bread and butter of their market sales. But perhaps that isn’t the right metaphor to use for a group so devoted to their vegetables. Better to say that for many farmers, salad mix is, well, the salad mix of their operation; a key, if not core, part of their crop plan and their...

    This is a great potluck dish. It is easy to put together, vegan and gluten-free, and is fine being at room temperature. For extra pizzazz, line a medium sized shallow bowl with large red lettuce leaves, so they overlap each other and the edge, and pour the potato salad into it. Decorate with nasturtium blossoms or calendula petals. Green Vinaigrette...

With no time for her usual warmth, she simply wrote: Drowning in hand weeding and can't keep up. Tool bar I got this year isn't really working on my International Harvester. Do you think this...

    The beet is a vegetable that has in recent years been elevated to gourmet status.  A status that is well deserved, we must admit.  Not only do beets have a sweet, earthy flavor that pairs well with, say, goat cheese and arugula, they are also nutritious and colorful. Beets are also seasonally very well-adapted.  Though they grow best at temperatures...

It requires little stove time, can be made with any number of veggies either raw or cooked, and tastes very fresh and cooling, especially on super hot days. You might also try adding thinly sliced sugarsnap peas, julienned carrots, and really any seasonal summer greens...
