All things green and healthy

This was my produce basket Saturday. Lots of YUMMY things to eat! There was a story in the paper last week, so there were quite a few more participants. Our pick up location split, and still had over 80 baskets, and the one that split off, had over 60. If you are local, check them out here. We had mangos, kiwi, apples, limes, bananas, pears, carrots, green peppers, yams, broccoli, romaine lettuce, celery, snap beans, spinach, and tomatos. Seems there were a couple other things we had put in the fridge when I took this picture.

A few weeks ago we "planted" a praying mantis egg sort of thing. It lookes like a very small wasp nest, and when you find lots of baby praying manti, you know they hatched. They were in the cilantro, but it was out of control so I had to cut it back, but I wanted to make sure my new little friends had a place to live. They were just fine... The violets are very happy,


Last but not least, the fist tomato of the season. This one happens to be a yellow pear. I will go check them all out tonite to see who is getting ready to get some color!
