Green Beans - They're back and better than ever! There is also a bonus of tasty purple beans too!
Swiss Chard- Chard is a great vegetable coming in green, red, yellow and orange. The stems steam, stir fry or boil to a soft and tasty texture. Use raw in salads or cooked any number of ways. Great cooked and butter or olive oil and seasonings added to the hot greens.
Lettuce and Arugula-- again.
Sweet Potatoes -- Here are two different varieties of sweet potatoes, one white, one red. They can be baked or cut into ½ inch slices and steamed. So good with butter or olive oil and seasonings. Sweet pots definitely need washed.
Bok Choi - Finally we have some of this popular oriental veg. Made for stir fries. Also soups and salads.
Turnips - A good crop of turnips just coming in. Use the root in stir fries, sliced into salads or cooked. Greens can be used in soups and with discretion in salads.
Mustard Greens - red and green mustard's feisty flavor is good for salads, stir fries and sandwiches.
Squash, Butternut or Acorn - Excellent for roasting, baking or steaming. Also great as a soup base.
Bell Peppers - Bell peppers are slowing down.
Chili Peppers - This is a mild "hot" chili pepper variety. There are also red, hotter peppers, Habanero, I think.
Herb - Basil and parsley. Try basil and parsley in sandwiches, salads and cooking.
Flowers-African marigolds, cockscomb, plume celosia, etc.
