   @bhaugen I spoke with my purslane farmer (sic) about lambs quarters and the idea of selling a "native greens mix" including them. He's intrigued. They taste fine, not as good as purslane, but totally fine.

     @Matt_Noyes ditch the stems.

     @bhaugen Maybe farmers would do well to include them in a bag of mixed greens? The stems make them look "weedy", I think.

     @Matt_Noyes usually like spinach but shorter cooking. If the leaves are young, maybe raw in salads. Take a bite, see what you think.

     @bhaugen haven't asked but I doubt she knows about them. How do you prepare them?

     @Matt_Noyes We love lambs quarters. One of our favorite greens. What does the nutrition student think of them?

     Today was all about taking the plastic trellising clips off the tomatoes, then tearing up the plants. One of my goals for next season is to devise a viable no-plastic alternative. ( Another goal is to popularize consumption of lambs quarters.)

     We harvested a few remaining tomatoes, eggplants, and basil, and had lots of conversation, especially about nutrition, since our newest member is a nutrition student.
