Salad Harvest

I had a couple recent harvests of the fall crops. The first of the two harvests consisted of radishes, sugar snap peas, lettuce, and a carrot. I went ahead and used a store bought cucumber and made myself a salad with all of that. It was the best tasting salad in the history of the world. The heads of lettuce that we turn out on Joes Farm are not very large but they are organically grown, jam packed with vitamins and nutrients, and best of all they are delicious. The radishes that we have been harvesting at Joes Farm are bigger than golf balls and they are they most delicious radishes that I have ever tasted. They are a sweet and they have a little heat. Pretty much they are the perfect radish.

Today at Joes Farm we had our first spinach harvest. I just want to make it clear that this was no spinach harvest like they would have at Botto's spinach farm in Malone, NY, But it was pretty substantial as far as Joes Farm harvest's go. I went out to the field with a large mixing bowl and all i did was cut and pinch the leaves of some of the plants so they can keep producing. I was very surprised and overwhelmed with the amount that was harvested and it was not even half of the available spinach. I used half of it in a recipe to feed the farm staff this week and I half half of it left to do what ever I want to do with it. I can say with out a doubt in my mind that we have truly been blessed on Joes Farm today.

This is the first harvest mentioned above. A couple heads of lettuce and radishes.

This is a picture of the salad that I made. It was pretty delicious. You can also see my TV remote.
