notes on the share
Watermelon radish - what a beautiful and surprisingly versatile root veg! You can eat it raw in salads, add it to soup or even roast it! Kids love this one becuase it really does look like watermelon when sliced up.

News from the Farm
The massive root vegetable harvest is underway. We are harvesting all of the carrots, rutabagas, potatoes, beets, celery root, watermelon radish...(the list goes on) before we get our first hard freeze. The only thing left in the fields will be the heartier greens and brassicas which can be harvested late into the season.
