Maybe it was the hazy, misty morning, or maybe mother nature, but this week our vegetables look particularly vibrant through Scott's lens. Bouquets of lettuces and chards will make their way into CSA boxes and market stalls. Also, if you're a farmer in Central Texas, you likely already know this - but if not, we'll tell you: it's time to get in the ground. After plastic mulch has been laid over prepared beds, each of our onion transplants is placed in a hole, one by one. It's a tedious task, to say the least.

Neon greens and dark burgundy make the most beautiful contrast, don't you think? Photo by Scott David Gordon.

Rainbow chard: dice up the colorful stems and use like onions or celery, and chop up the greens for use like spinach. It's all edible! Photo by Scott David Gordon.

Checkout these big, beautiful stems. We hope you're slicing those up and eating the along with the crowns, else you're not enjoying this brassica to it's full extent. Photo by Scott David Gordon.
