Potatoes are taking root!
This little all blue potato (one of many) will produce a few pounds of new potatoes in just a few months.

DietID_TeamDietitians 8yr Lovely!! I love blue and purple potatoes because they add color to a dish, but is there any other difference? They taste pretty much the same to me -
olivettefarm 8yr @Rachna there's no real difference in flavor compared to similar sized potatoes. I prefer to grow smaller ones. I find the flavor and texture to be better. Purple and blue potatoes are higher in antioxidants compared to other colored ones. -
sugardetoxme 8yr One of the farmers at the McCarren Farmers Market was waxing poetic about how much difference in taste there was across the potato spectrum - from his white to russet to blue to red. I don't find so much differentiation either but maybe I need to hone my palate better. -
DietID_TeamDietitians 8yr ah yes - the antioxidant point @olivettefarm is enough for me to go purple =). I think using these in dinner parties is also awesome because then people ask questions!
Red romaine heading into the fields tomorrow.
Have you tried grilling romaine heads? It's absolutely delicious.

DietID_TeamDietitians Yes!!! Charred them once and they were delicious!!

annefood So good!
Mustard micros getting their first morning sun.
We keep our seed trays covered for the first couple of days after germination in order to get some longer stems on our micros. The generally get their color after a day or two in the sun.
Future tomato sandwiches.

olivettefarm @Rachna I won't :( my parents will actually be in town that weekend so I'll be showing them around Asheville. I'll be trying to make my way up to NY this offseason hopefully though.
