Well… the main garden is running just a little bit behind schedule this season so everything in your box this week was picked from the Art Farm Annex – aka. My mom’s garden.

I planted this lovely English garden for her 10 years ago when I came back from New York. It was the very first Art Farm and is well maintained by Judy. She is an excellent grower in her own right (blue ribbon winning, in fact), but had abandoned it for projects less demanding somewhere in the “teenage years”. We rediscovered gardening together and have been partners in veggie-crime ever since. She taught me the discipline necessary to garden and I taught her how to grow sustainably, a practice previously un-heard of in our family!

This summer her garden is GORGEOUS. Naturally, while she is on vacation I plundered every bit of produce I could! Enjoy the delicate flavor of the raspberries, the nutty flavor of the zucchini and the bitter/sweetness of the salad greens.
