Nettle tops is a new one for me. I haven't used them yet, but your recommendation is enough to motivate me to find some! Love your contributions! You're a girl after my own heart! Melissa Nadya,

I have gotten garlic Scapes in my CSA share, too, & also usually saute them in a bit of coconut oil with onions & such. Pesto ... nummy! I have made some lovely pesto with nettle tops (some of our OG farmers have them available throughout the season) just lightly cook & use like you would basil - you could use the quinoa greens that way, too! It would be fun to combine nettles or quinoa & the scapes Yum!! I have gotten garlic Scapes in my CSA share, too, & also usually saute them in a bit of coconut oil with onions & such. Pesto … nummy!

Thanks! You're inspiring me to try a salmon mix with the scapes. I also thought I might mix them into a Tuscan type soup with kale. I have an abundance of kale right now. Miles,

You must be my long lost cousin as I just finished (almost, must proofread now) a post in which I actually said "I make things up." And that was before reading your comment to GDave. You know me all too well for not knowing me. :-) Cid,

Oh, that's too bad about your CSA choices so far. I'm so lucky to have this great resource nearby! I've never seen that scrubber you have, but it does look interesting. I have the oxo version. It's the first one listed on the Amazon.com page. (Google vegetable scrubbers Amazon -- the link is too long to insert here.) I stick mine in the dishwasher regularly just to keep it clean. :-) Coco,

There's nothing for it but to grow our own and know just when to tackle the scapes before they bloom presumably? I think Melissa makes most of it up you know.... next she'll be telling us she has vanilla pods in her hanging baskets :) Cid GDave,

Your sautéed beet green recipe sounds SO delicious (and simple- my favorite). I haven't tossed the carrot tops just yet, I'm still thinking about how to use them. I will let you know what I come up with. We haven't found a farm with a CSA we like yet (we previewed 2 different farms and one gave us moldy veggies, what's with that?! and the other gave us stuff from California? Both were supposedly organic & local!) so we brave the farmer's market every weekend. I get worse and worse every time we go we need to bring more bags. I figure the more greens I buy each week the more incentive it is for my hubby to be convinced we need to move somewhere with a huuuuge yard. Until then, I'm the crazy girl with 4 bags with greens hanging out and 6 pints of strawberries :) What kind of veggie scrubber do you use? I just bought one of these: http://www.veggiescrub.com/ and it rubs the peels right off it's so harsh. Maybe you have something less abrasive? Thanks Melissa!
