Re: A Spring Freeze

I feel your pain with the frost. I farm in San Diego and our frosts are very similar just going slightly below the frost point. I wonder some times if it's worth all the effort to protect the plants when they usually recover but just take a little longer to grow.

So much for the attempt to post the photo. Neither uploading nor dragging and dropping worked. Oh well!

Great news about the tomato plants! I'll look forward to enjoying those in the months to come.

Already an old fogey at 42, I don't have an Instagram account (or the interest in downloading the app) but would love to share this photo of one of my seemingly endless "JBG" moments. The handsome devil wearing the stylish hat is Corey, one of the wonderful cashiers at Natural Grocers on Guadalupe. He's holding a bunch of your delicious carrots, which were the perfect complement to some Grandma's Humus and a great locally-sourced lunch. Please feel free to post far and wide!

Love the nacho recipe. Looks like something similar could be adapted to a cheese-less pizza for my vegan friends.

I had a couple of Sweet Potatoes from the holidays and some spinach from a Juice Cleanse gone wild but I would have never thought of combining them! The kids were concerned when they saw these two ingredients go together but the cinnamon, nutmeg and cream won them over! Always a good sign when there are no leftovers.

Great recipe. I can't eat grapefruit, but the recipe works well with only oranges, and I've been putting the vinaigrette on all kinds of salads. Thanks for the recommendation, Megan

Hi Michael! Sorry for the late answer. It was for everyone who wants to have good food and good fun. We tend to have one in Spring and another one for the Fall. Keep your eyes peeled!

Well, radishes can be tricky to use. We think they are delicious and try to pickle them and add them to soups or fish. A few radishes can brighten any salad and braising them with honey and beer makes them delicious. We will try to include more radish recipes in future blog posts.

How do you know I have neglected radishes in my fridge? :-)
