In the box this week:
green onions
garlic tops/bulbils

sorrel
dinosaur kale
rainbow Swiss chard
fava beans,
radish pods
snow peas
lavender
lemon mint
What do you do with fava beans and radish pods?
Fresh fava beans need to be removed from their pod (the pod is inedible) and here are some recipe ideas: http://www.seasonalchef.com/recipe0506b.htm
Radish pods? The unusual hot weather made all the radishes bolt and go to seed - and the pods are the immature seeds that still have the flavor and heat of the root. Add them to salads, stir-frys, or make a pickle with them. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/09/AR2006080900474.html.
