CSA 2012, Week 3

CSA Haul

This week’s haul was: peonies, Swiss chard, zucchini, lettuce, and beets.

peonies

The peonies are looking particularly lovely, and the living room smells divine.

In other news, my crisper is so stuffed, I’m having to come up with creative ways to store some of the produce.

I’ve also had a harvest of sorts from the garden.   I’m planning on making some Peach Lavender Jam from one of my canning cookbooks, so I’ve been clipping and drying the flowers from lavender plants as they come in.    I need 2 tbsps, and I think I’m on track to get that entirely from my own garden.
