I came in with this nice big colander full of greens!
There are Vates Collards, Lacinato Kale, Squire Kale and a few leaves of what I think must be Winter Red Kale. There is one plant in the bed which has light purple veins. I was having trouble with the Winter Red Kale germinating...but, I guess that one made it.
Total Harvest - 10.7 oz
Collards - 3.8 oz
Kale - 6.9 oz
Hop on over to Daphne's Dandelions, our host of Harvest Monday to see what's going on in Veggie Gardens around the globe!
Thats a great basket of Kale. I particularly like Lacinato style Kales - what did you do with yours?
ReplyDeleteThanks Liz, I made the most wonderful dish with some of these greens. I will post the recipe on Thursday.
ReplyDeleteNice looking harvest
ReplyDeleteThanks Wilderness,...It was yummy!
DeleteI'm just going to set to and freeze the parsnips that we dug!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea. It's never too soon to start putting things away for another day!
DeleteThat is indeed a full colander of kale and what makes it even nicer is the mix of varieties. Each brings a different eating quality to the table.
ReplyDeleteI have three more varieties of Kale started which will be planted out some time this week. It's been so dry here. So I am waiting until after we get a little rain.
DeleteI should seriously think about installing a cold frame. So jealous of your kale harvest, so varied.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think you should put a cold frame on your "to do" list this year. You will be very happy come next winter.
DeleteLovely bowl of kales. At the moment I have the Italian Lancinato, some 'Red Russian" aka "Ragged Jack" descended from seed I bought years ago from Seeds Blum and a similar looking variety that pops up in some mesculin mixes.
ReplyDeleteI've seeded some collards this week, some for me and some as bunny food.
We really love greens around here. I have some more starts ready to go out this week!
DeleteYum! What will you do with it? Saute in butter or stir fry maybe?
ReplyDeleteI'm not telling you what I made :) You will have to wait until Thursday!
DeleteI hope the little one is feeling better.
We love kale! And it is super good this time of the year! We cut a bunch this week to and added it to a casserole!! Yum!!
ReplyDeleteKale is such a great veggie and so so nutritious!
DeleteGreat harvest! Robin.
ReplyDelete"Kale-juice" is very popular in Japan since it contains a lot of vitamins.
I have a juicer and have been thinking about making some Kale juice. I guess it is time!
DeleteNice size harvest! Yum!

Thanks Lynn
DeleteBeautiful colander of blue-green winter greens. Just lovely. Loved your post on community garden frustrations too. Visit my blog to see my own frustrations. Your plot is three times larger than mine, so I hope you get a lot of good produce from it. And it looks like you have SOIL. I have gravel and dust in my community garden plot. The only growing medium is what I hauled in. Now the powers that run our gardens have made us take our our raised beds, tomato cages, trellises, etc. Basically, if I had it they disallowed it, although it wasn't personal. Bummer.
ReplyDeleteI love the different blue/green colors too. I'm going to hop on over to your place and see what kind of nonsense you are going through!
DeleteWhat a nice, green harvest! For some reason I always have problems getting kale to germinate.
ReplyDeleteThanks Julie, maybe you should try pre-sprouting them.
DeleteWoohoo! A wonderful winter/early spring harvest. The green is such a rich variety of colors.
