I'm plain, ol' fashioned lost. I wonder if I'll ever find my way.

Propagation is the best. Now I've got 3 feverfew, 3 marojarm, 2 lemonbalm, 3 mint and a couple of other non-food plants just in pots. Not even including the ones I've got in the ground omg. Gaaarden. SIDE NOTE: My mum gives the best advice when I'm down: "go for a walk, put a smile on your dial and say hello to anyone you walk past" I love that woman! #gardening #garden #herbs #herbgarden #propagation #growyourownfood #natural #advice #love

There’s a small corner of the restaurant world where food is art and the plate is just as exquisite as the mouthful.

In this world, chefs are constantly looking for new creative materials for the next stunning presentation.

The tiny community of farmers who grow vegetables for the elite chefs prize creativity, too, not just in what they grow but in how they grow it. They’re seeking perfection, in vegetable form and flavor, like this tiny cucumber that looks like a watermelon — called a cucamelon.

The Chef’s Garden is a specialty vegetable farm in Huron, Ohio, about an hour west of Cleveland. It’s a family farm, where three generations of the Jones family work side by side with about 175 employees. It’s a place where vegetables are scrupulously selected and then painstakingly coaxed from the ground.

This farm produces an extraordinary selection of vegetable varieties, ranging from the familiar to the exotic, like the cucamelon. In the summer, they can offer chefs 80 varieties of tomatoes. Through the year, they’re growing more than a dozen kinds of lettuce of different textures and colors, like Merlot, in their greenhouses.

One of this week’s CSA boxes…there’s sourdough bread for it too, but I just couldn’t fit in the frame. In fact, I could barely fit the veggies in the space either. The garden is going seriously nuts, so everyone’s boxes are chunky this week. Leeks are early, and so sweet and yummy. And I’ve got pumpkins galore, so harvested the first ones, a bit too soon I think, however they will be fine for soup I’m sure. February, March and April are definitely the big harvest months in my climate…watch this space, there’s sooooo much more to come. #csa #veggiebox #vegetables #marketgarden #organicgarden #organic #fresh #delicious #nutrientdense #healthy #harvest by crisp_produce_and_preserves http://ift.tt/1NU62ax
