Two footlongs please! 🙏

Went for a walk this evening. As I was passing a shop looked at the sign outside. It read “RG’s farm fresh salads and sandwiches! 😋”. Entered the shop.

Shop Person (SP): RG’s farm fresh salads and sandwiches. What would you like to have, sir? 🙏
Me: Two footlongs please! 🙏
SP: What type of bread would you like? White, Wheat or Italian?
Me: Not footlong bread! What is foot long, cool and chill?
SP: Got you! 😊 You mean footlong cucumber salad, right?
Me: Yep, you got that right! 👍
SP: What would you like with the cucumber, in the salad?
Me: Tomato, parsley and basil!
SP: Excellent choice. Anything else in the salad?
Me: Nope, just make sure all the veggies are farm fresh 🙏
SP: Sure, we source our veggies from The Raj Farm. Our customers think their veggies are the best! 👌
Me: Thank you! 🙏
SP: Here’s something that will make you smile while I prepare the salad! 😊
(The shop person quickly arranged the salad veggies to form a smiley face 😊)
Me: That’s cool! 😊

The salad was prepared quickly and handed over. One bite later I was convinced it was the most delicious salad I ever had 👌

Me (in appreciation): Man, the salad is awesome! 👏 Thank you so much! 🙏
SP: You are welcome 🙏, it’s the love that goes into growing the veggies at The Raj Farm and the care and love that goes into making each salad and sandwich at RG’s 🙏

Hot and chill?🤔

KenJ: We are down to the last clue in the Double Jeopardy! round of Jeopardy! in what has been a very exciting game! The category is “Farm and Charm” and would you believe it, it’s a Daily Double! 😊 Let me read the clue.
“A favorite in farming circles and referred to as ‘Hot and Chill’!”
KenJ: RajFan buzzed in first. What are you going to wager, RajFan?
RajFan: All of it!
KenJ: Wow, that’s a gutsy wager! What’s your response?
RajFan: “Who is Raj?”
KenJ: You know what? You went all in on Raj and your response actually fits the clue!😃👍 But, as you know, the clue writers of Jeopardy! are a picky bunch and such killjoys they don’t give me the flexibility to process a response real time and rule it correct if it seems fitting and differs from what the show has deemed to be right.👎 If it were up to me your score would double! Anyway the official correct response is “What are Raj Farm peppers?”. Known to be fiery hot, gourmets consider it chill to flavor cooking with Raj Farm peppers!👌 Urban legend also has it that the word “chili” some people call peppers is also derived from chill!😉

Raj Farm 2023: Zucchini pollinators, where art thou? 🤔

At Raj Farm lot of flowers in zucchini plant, no zucchinis yet. ☹️ It’s been a rather hot summer with not much rain. Looks like the pollinators have been chilling as the temps have been soaring! Cut some of the big leaves to expose the flowers to the pollinators hoping their bright yellow color would act as a gentle reminder about tasks in their to-do list 😄 No luck yet, but hopes still abound for a bountiful zucchini harvest this summer 👍
Zucchini pollinators, where art thou? 🤔
I have heard from a friend that fried zucchini flowers are good, looks like zucchini fritters may not be a bad alternative! 😉😂
Wife will not be happy to hear me go from salad to fried stuff though 🤣 I will work on convincing wife it comes to that 😊🙏

Raj Farm 2023: Raj Basilica! 😊

Let’s start with a trivia question to test botany knowledge! What is Raj Basilica?
Stumped? 😃
Let me help you here with a hint. It’s the scientific name in Latin for a popular herb!
Still clueless? 😄
Ok, I will give the answer myself!
The first part of the her name “Raj” means “royal/kingly plant” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basil). It’s also a nod to the Raj Farm origins of the herb. “Basilica” is the name given to specific shrines, like the Raj Farm, that produce the most flavorful versions of the herb! Thus the name “Raj Basilica”, now commonly referred to as basil! 👌
Ok, I was just kidding.🙏
Basil scientific name in Latin is Ocimum basilicum 🙏
Man, this is a tough crowd! 😉😂
Ladies and gentleman, presenting the 2023 edition of Raj Farm Basil! 👏
Yeah, looking forward to pastas and sandwiches flavored with basil next few weeks! 👍
