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.

- salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
