csa purslane week!!!

we are going to harvest the purslane and truck it in tomorrow. it is the closest thing to seafood in the plant world. is it a weed?..... yes. you probably have some growing in your yard and if you try it you wont have it in your yard for long. a french cultivar. recipes at right or just saute with garlique. 

also mabel put up a beaut over there on cooking eggs.  lots of tomatoes tomorrow many of them super ripe. sauce them or eat them before they collapse. the second generation layers have just started laying their first eggs so eggs should be great for the second half of csa. these chickens are GMO free. i have decided though i am going to use chemicals on zucchini stems from now on. from the first round of zuke plants we are down to 4 (non producing) out of 40 - all vine bored - next round look fair. going to plant round 3 tomorrow - there will be zukes!!!!! THE greatest food of all time.
