Despite the crazy weather we are having, I have managed to pick a mountain of greens from my garden. I thinned out the kale, kohlrabi, spinach, collard, turnip, lettuce and cabbage. They are around 4 inches now and needed some growing room. I combined the baby greens and filled enough zip bags for neighbors and several family members, and of course I kept a big pile for us.![]()
Buttercrunch and red sails lettuce. I learned a valuable lesson picking the lettuce - beware of hornets hiding in the leaves. Ouch!
Most the spinach is bolting to seed, so I have to pick it quickly. The weather is just not stable enough to produce a longer growing season for spinach.
From the herb garden we have parsley and cilantro (which is also bolting)
The green that is taking over my rock wall - Mint.
And the newest addition to the harvest - snap peas.
We will be eating a very green diet this week. Yummmmmmmy Chlorophyll.
