When we collected our organic vegetables at the Groenekans distribution point last Friday, we got this lovely field-bouquet.
Groenekans is the second local farm we get our groceries from. It works different from Amelis’Hof in that we can pick our choice from a weekly list instead of getting a surprise batch of greens, and pre-funding is on a voluntary basis. Because we do pay an amount in advance they gave us these colourful flowers. Nice, eh? I’m not much of an expert on flora, but I bet some of them can be eaten or made into tea… Still, I like ‘em just where they are on the dining table :))
Now, on with the vegetables we got from Amelis’Hof in the last few weeks, our first (bio)organic resource. Although they didn’t only land in our kitchen this time… When Mr Gnoe and I were on a trip to Paris two weeks ago, my friend Elsje took hold of them in our place! She was sweet enough to make a photo so that we would actually know what we had missed out on :)

The flowers look absolutely lovely!
What is this, last batch already? Is there nothing more to be had from the vegetable garden?

Not to worry: it’s only the last one of SUMMER. Next week it’ll be autumn. CSA veggie season is from May until Christmas, so many more blogposts to go! ;)

Beautiful flowers! Reminds me of springtime. Yellow beetroot? That’s a new one. I bought some flat peaches the other day and they were delicious. Whan I saw them I thought of you and your lovely pictures of vegetables.
I’m going to post them up for everyone to see :)

That’s so sweet that you thought of me when you saw those flat (bento-sized) peaches! :)) I saw them here in Holland for the first time this year too. I’ve heard them be called ‘donut peaches’ on the web… :\ But the shop keeper said they were wild peaches and I like that best! :))

I’ve posted them up for you to see now. Sorry they weren’t there. my bad! They do look like donuts! I had to eat them like a donut too, round and round lol. I thought they might be genetically tampered, but I was delighted to find out they are naturally that shape. I’m going to plant the stones next year to see if they grow!
