Also known as "colorful kraut," this is a delicious mix of green, savoy, and red cabbage; onions; carrots; black and daikon radishes; and a tiny amount of dried cayenne peppers. Kept refrigerated, the fermented veggies will last at least two months.

Here's what Kitchen Garden Seeds has to say about Boleros: "Prized for its exceptional sweetness and elegantly shaped, slender roots, Bolero is a vigorous hybrid created in France. This beautiful, Nantes-style carrot is gorgeous from its deep orange silky shoulders down to its rounded base. French cooks know what they like and consider it the best-tasting carrot around

We grow a gorgeous mix of beets on the farm - deep red, gold, striped chioggia, and white. All may be used similarly. Red beets will bleed when cooked so if preparing with other veggies be mindful of that fact or you will end up with a uniformly technicolor dish. Gold beets and white beets don't bleed. Chioggias have a bright red/pink exterior and are striped red and white inside. Roasted they do retain some of this character. Beets may be eaten cooked or raw. Grated beets of any color make a fabulous addition to salads and slaws. Grate some early in the week and place them in a tupperware and then sprinkle them into salads all week. Don't forget the greens! Beet greens can also be eaten raw and are terrific in smoothies. But they are more commonly eaten cooked, in all the ways you would use swiss chard, spinach, turnip greens etc. Roasted beets are extra delicious, roasting carmelizes the sugar in the beets. Cube beets and roast them in the oven with a drizzle of oil at 400F until they are tender and just browning at the edges. If you don't eat them all right away, cool and toss into a container and add these to salads. Yum. Do separate beet greens from the beets and store each separately, loosely wrapped in a plastic bag.
