FARM FRESH EGGS PECANS TURNIPS ICICLE RADISHES BEETS KALE HEIRLOOM TOMATOES  ...no biscotti this week....sorry to all the biscotti fans!  I had a husband in great need of a lemon meringue pie...so really, blame him  :) And more veggies soon to come!  We now have 2 hoop houses up and planted to get a jump start on the spring growing season.  So, if the current veggie variety doesn't strike your fancy, keep an eye out - more is coming!...
