This strangepurple and green object is not a ship from outer space but a delightful veggie called kohlrabi. To prepare it, cut off all the strange appendages and peel it. The inner flesh is white-ish.
You can eat it raw in salads or cook it in a variety of manners. Personally, I dice it then saute it with butter and garlic. If you want to be more adventurous, try some of the recipes listed in the Simply Recipe blog: http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/kohlrabi/.

At Silvermine Farm, the Children’s garden is growing nicely. According to Martha, it is the best spot on the whole farm for tomatoes this year. Not only are the tomatoes growing like bushes, but the sun flowers are out.
