One thing I do love about summer is the load of vegetables that I get to pick up every week at my CSA. For those not familiar, a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) is a farm that brings their goodies into the city and sells them to urban black thumbs like myself that have no space for a garden of their own. We pay for the season in advance, which gives the farmer cash to grow his veggies, and we reap the benefits from June-October. (we also share in the risk so if there is no crop, it's too bad for us even though we paid.)
Here's a quick iPhone shot of my loot from yesterday:
We've got some mint, swiss chard, kale, peppers, garlic scapes (love!), kohlrabi, peas and more! For more summertime treats, click on the link below.

I love the abundance of fresh, local food in the summer!
Fantastic photo!
My thumb is brown so I'm completely envious right now.
I love the colour in your photo. I've thought of doing the same thing here, from the co-op, but I can never figure out what to do with some of the stuff.
What a colorful armful of goodness! CSA sounds like such a win-win.
(Yay, I can comment here now :) thanks!)
wow these look good and what great colours
Awesome treat! What a great idea.
Your veggie loot looks quite bountiful! Love the color harmony you've got going there!!! We've enjoyed similar programs, living in the country, of organic veggie boxes. It's was always a surprise and treat to open them up:)
The purple is vibrant amongst the greens, I love it! I love CSA's and Farmer's Market, what a great summer photo capture!
I too love the sense of richness and abundance conveyed by the gorgeous colors and textures! I love the variety - some yummy dishes coming up!
