Pretty Harvest

The La Jacinto kale has been going for weeks and weeks. We are sauteing it with lemon, garlic and sea salt, and it is divine, especially next to mashed potatoes. Arugula and mizuna can also be mixed in, giving the melange a bit more of a bite. The green canteloupe (gorgeous on the inside) tastes faintly of bananas, and is very juicy. The acorn squash is sweet, not too earthy. Though we are lacking tomatoes, our neighbor's overabundance of them made up for it (seven plants in all in his lasagna garden). Luckily we had the foresight to harvest these fruits of our own garden prior to last Thursday's early morning snow.
