SEEDS! from Seeds of Victoria We just got in a huge selection of organic seeds from Seeds of Victoria. You can start most greens now and tomatoes need to get going indoors asap. I start mine in some good organic dirt on a windowsill in the bedroom. Find the perfect spot in your house and it's so fun to check on their progress! Most greens and hardy herbs (not basil) can be started outside already but may need some protection. I've got beer traps out in my raised beds as the slugs are hungry and just waiting for that spinach to sprout! Eating local can start on your balcony, backyard, windowsill, old tire...

Green Miso Tahini Spread

This is another amazingly easy SUPER nutritious dip, especially good if you're tired of hummus. Vegan and GF

No time? Buy some from our deli...

1/3 c. mild miso (we use Shiro which is not aged for too long and is a lighter colour)
2/3 c. raw tahini
juice of one or two lemons
1 bunch of cilantro or parsley
1 bunch of kale or other greens (spinach or arugula are nice) washed and dried, take off tough stems
1 T. nama shoyu or tamari
1-2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped or pressed
¼ - ½ c. water to desired consistency

add all ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth adding additional water if you want a creamier lighter version. You can also just chop the veg and mix all by hand for a chunkier version, just as good only different.

Serve with veggies or on crackers or chips. Lasts refridgerated for 4-6 days.

You can also thin it down further and use as a sauce on veg, rice or other grains.

Try using fresh lime juice with spinach and cilantro and add 1 t. cumin
