Collard Greens Inside
At breakfast this morning, reading the newspaper, my wife saw a recipe for collard greens. This is something she would have overlooked a year ago, but now that we are growing collard greens in the garden and in the Greenhouse (or sunroom) she brought it to my attention. It sounded like the way my friends in the DMZ Garden Co-op, Dawn and Marna, suggested I cook it, but it had a few other twists. Also today when finally working on the garden outside, I brought in from outside two more planters of collard greens, something I have been meaning to do for a while. I hope it is not too late. They look like they survived but we will find out in a day or two.
Collard greens, like kale, are something new at our table but a welcome presence in our meals. When prepared correctly they are delicious and, naturally, healthy. Growing Power gardening has opened us to many new delicious foods … arugala, for example. I never heard of arugula and never knew what a good salad ingredient it is until I started to grow it. Most greens like kale, collard, arugula grow in many types of climate, and most importantly, most are cold-tolerant.
In my GP box inside now I am growing a mixture of salad greens. Some are growing slowly but they are growing and soon will be ready for picking and the salad bowl. Greens — salad and cooking ones — are something easy to grow, and grow in all types of climate, and love the enriched compost of Growing Power gardens. They are natural organic foods, healthy for body, mind and soul.
Oh Yes, The Green Bay Packers won again today. Go Green!
