This cover crop didn't receive rain for one and a half months but was still able to slowly grow into a lush and vibrant soil enriching protector.
This week is the final pick up, which is always a bit sad. But, I am happy that I spent the extra time during the season to preserve a lot of the harvest: soups; scraps to make into veggie stock; frozen edamame, peppers and tomatoes; eggplant dip; tomatillo and tomato sauce and salsa; pickles and pestos. Wow! So much we get to enjoy for the next several months! Here are a couple of things I prepared recently.
Celery, onion, potato - for the first time, I made celery soup - I really wasn't sure if I would like it, but it was yummy.
Swiss chard, onion, tomatoes (frozen), garlic - enjoyed the Skillet Gnocchi with Beans and Swiss chard. Every so often I go through the Recipe section of the website and search on ingredients. I always find delicious things to make from our farm veggies.
