Fourth of July!

Today on this patriotic day we harvest vegetables for our fellow Americans.  We care about the future of our country and its food supply.
Today, we harvested mixed greens, lettuce, a variety of beets, basil and the infamous dinosaur kale (above).  Otherwise known as the heirloom variety "Lacinato," dinosaur kale is as bumpy and tender as an elephant--very tender. Or as bumpy as the skin of this amphibian we encountered last week:


Some people are fanatical about dinosaur kale and chefs like to use it because it is easy to slice into ribbons.
Here are some other photos, taken today in the spirit of celebration:
