With a bit more than 2 weeks left of spring, the weather is starting to heat up and the rain is slowing down. This weekend proved to be sunny and sweaty! Our potatoes have grown tall enough to be hilled. So we hilled... and are still hilling. Hilling potatoes means to pull up the soil from between the rows of potatoes, onto the potatoes to encourage more tubers to grow. It also makes them easier to harvest.
With the onset of 90* temperatures, some of our spring crops are heading to seed and leaving our CSA baskets. This will probably be the last week for the snap peas.. what a treat they've been! I wonder how everyone is eating their spring produce? Raw? Cooked? Leave a comment and share a recipe!
We've been enjoying lots of salad and stir-fry. I usually leave the stir-fry to Bret, he does a great job of improvising sauces. My favorite ingredients are tahini, soy sauce, sesame oil, and of course garlic...
Hope to see you soon!

I steamed our last batch of snap peas, but then I wished I had left them raw! They're so good, you really don't have to cook them. Even my 5-year-old eats them raw. :) Too bad we're seeing the last of them. See you tomorrow.
