Hey folks, despite the wetness and rain Farmer Luca will be open 5 to 6 this afternoon with lots of goodies, veggies and watermelon. Enjoy!

Red radishes with green tops
Ravishing Radishes – They grow faster than the bugs can keep up with! The crunchy bottoms can be eaten raw (peppery) or used as a root vegetable cooked (mild). The tops are more nutritious than the root, and can be used as salad or cooking greens. Some folks make smoothies with them! Don’t waste an inch of this mighty veggie! We love them sliced thin in oil and vinegar with a pinch of salt.
