Garlic harvest!


A group of recently graduated 8th graders helped out with today's garlic harvest at Drew Freeman. We pulled garlic, snipped any remaining garlic scapes, and tied them up to cure for a few weeks in the covered walkway alongside the courtyard garden. Oh boy are we going to have lots of delicious garlic to work with when the school year starts up again....


As a token of thanks to these helpers, I'd brought along a batch of my now-famous chocolate beet brownies. (The Eco-Friendly Group LOVED them when we made a batch together earlier this spring.) I hope to make them when the monthly community cooking classes start up next fall. So many folks who tried them today asked me for the recipe, so, for you aspiring bakers out there who thought you didn't like beets, click here for the recipe.
