THIS IS A WEEK “B” for bi-weekly members
What a harvest this week! Sometimes even I’m surprised by the bounty in the fields. Matt is always bringing in “presents” and leaving them on the kitchen counter. Yesterday it was the purple basil. I remember ordering the seeds, but it’s growing in a corner of the farm that I don’t see regularly, so surprise! Some of the leaves are solid purple and some are variegated. (Green & Purple) It’s all normal, just natural variations. Enjoy this week’s beautiful box! The rainy weather is a perfect excuse to get back into the kitchen.
