Like most garden summers, it's been a whirlwind of activity. Weeding is hit or miss with the recent downpours and storms here lately. I can't complain for not having to water anything. Somehow, in between storms, the mowing and trimming got done. (leaves are bigger than my hand this year- woohoo to a great crop) The Red Russian Kale I planted, did very well this year. I harvested a pretty good lot already. The kale we grow has a less bitter taste, and more favorable for fresh salads or topping a sandwich. The frozen kale will be used for smoothies, soups, stews, casseroles, breakfast casseroles and anything I can add greens to add more nutrition. However, pint freezer bags are very hard to find in our area. Just a few places sell them. One year, I was lucky to snag a "bulk" box of them at a nearby Menards (not available this year). I am still getting a few more radishes, and the Swiss chard is doing great this year. Everything...
