Red Norland Potato  or Mountain Rose – no need to peel; new potatoes – harvested before the plant dies back –  boiled, mashed, or roasted

Fresh Garlic – harvested for fresh use, not dried ; store room temp on the counter

Shisho (Japanese Basil / Perilla)  – Red or Green  – unique flavors , slicing into long skinny strips helps  brings out the flavor;
