Strawberry Season

We've been enjoying fresh local strawberries for the last week including some in our first delivery from Chestnut Farm. I picked a few wild ones at the edge of Rockwood Park on my walk the other day. That whetted my appetite and on the weekend I went out to a U-pick; should have got going a little earlier because the heat limited my stay. But I did get enough to eat fresh as well as freeze some.

Our first box from the farm also included carrots, lettuce, green onions, beet greens and swiss chard. Harvey found a great recipe for the greens, cooked with onions and a few slices of finely chopped bacon. I'm hoping there'll be peas in this week's assortment.
