This past week's harvest

Perhaps not abundant in quantity but definitely rich in freshness, colour & flavour:

Small harvest

Beet greens (with a baby beet), kale, and shelling peas

 

'Kootenai' cocktail

The first 'Kootenai' tomato

(I'd planned to use the peas in a risotto but I ate half while shelling them and then nibbled on the rest throughout the rest of the day.)

 

Beets

Beets, freshly picked, ready to be roasted, and then used in a salad (thanks, @kathrynelliott, for the tasty suggestion)
