Heirlooms of June

The wife made an amazing dish of these ingredients, raw and in marinade with feta, over a bed of purple sticky rice. You absolutely must try this rice...the flavor! In the picture are a chinese red noodle bean, royalty purple podded bean, crookneck squash, straightneck squash, black eel zucchini, caserta zucchini, rouge vif dEtamps squash, as well as several other kinds of squash blossoms. I hope she does a post on the dish for you over at 100 tomato plants sometime. For those of you that grow squash and zucchini each year, please, for the love of your chosen god, please, start picking early! You are missing out if you wait for them to blimp out! The flavor and texture is SO much better if taken small! Many a child growing up learned to hate big squash and zucches because of you!
