Harvest Update

As we harvest out the last of our spring lettuces, other crops are ready to take their place! From onions and leeks (nearly 8,000 in all—wow!), to baby potatoes (French Fingerling and Russian Banana), Gonzales cabbages and Gypsy broccoli, the Local Food Project garden is full of good things to eat. Airlie Center’s chefs always seem eager to see what’s coming next! And they’re waiting patiently as we prepare for our first tomatoes in just a few weeks. View more photos.

Looks like you have nice basil! We planted way too much at Mountain Laurel Montessori Farm School this year; we can't even make enough pesto to use it all!

It seems like there's always too much basil--no matter how you try to use it up! What varieties did you plant? We did lemon, lime, and Thai, in addition to the old standby Italian Large Leaf.
