G’day everyone, how are we all this week, hope you all stayed dry and out of the rain. I’ve been promised that the rain wont come on saturday till after we pack up, so don’t get scared by the weather report and come out and see us.

Scapes are new this week. What are are you ask? they are the flower shoot from the garlic and are absolutely beautiful to cook with. Garlic scapes work well in soups, salads, stews, salsas, dips, guacamole, omelettes, frittatas, souffles, marinades, pesto, salad dressings, and stir-fry. They can also be pickled and added to homemade flavored vinegars. Scapes are also delightful when cooked into sauces.

Limes are also coming back, we have a few but more will come as the season progresses.

Due to the excitement around the salad eggs i will continue to bring them in till the chickens grow and the egg get bigger.

Here is an idea, how about making a salad using our mixed leaves, garlic scapes, and the salad eggs, and limes in our olive oil for which i have a recipe for.

• 1 fresh lime juiced
• 1 tblspn. of honey
• 1/2 tsp.chili powder
• 1/8 tsp. cumin
• salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
• 1 lg. garlic clove fine minced
• 1 tsp. fresh lime zest
• A splash of vinegar is suggested as needed or to taste (optional)
• fresh herbs could also be added such as mint to taste (optional)

G’day everyone. How good was this week. Great weather the beans and tomatoes plants have made a move for the sky this week. talking about hot weather a summer salad would be in order and at Taylor Square this week we have some very special eggs, a new batch have come in and we have some Salad Eggs, thats right these eggs are the perfect size to boil and put in to a summer salad. The chickens will grow though so they wont be this size for long.

There is no other new produce this week but some of the produce is looking and tasting soooo good, the herbs are plentiful, salads and greens are super the fat hen is making a comeback in small numbers but the chickweed is going, Sorry Bentley restaurant.

Also if anyone else was interested in the puppy’s there are still more that need a good home so come and see us at the stands to find out more.

With all the complements we had with the mandarin juice we have continued to make some this week, so if your hot and want a refreshing drink (if i haven’t drank it all) be sure to get one tomorrow, see you there.

G’day everyone. How are we this week. First i would like to appologise  for not writing a blog last week, i was on holidays and didn’t get a chance to do one as i had planed.

First off the ranks, no grape fruit, blood oranges, they have finished. A lot of people have been asking about basil, we have just planted our first plants so it wont be long.

If you read the herald you would have seen the article on nettles. If not we will have a copy at the markets, it has a couple of interesting recipes in it.

We also have our mushrooms back. that’s right the only certified organic mushrooms at the markets, we love these little beauties and i haven’t met a person how would disagree yet.

Do you remember Jess the kelpie that became Taylor Sq market pet, well she’s been on maternity leave for the last 5 months but she will be back this week with her little pups that will be for sale. 7 pups 4 male 3 female. come and see either Michael or myself for more details or call me on 0434 300 967.

I’m looking forward to seeing you this saturday.
