Their CSA might have gone overboard with the kale, but they did a great job with the loose leaf lettuces and other fancy sprigs. Mr. flower is partial to swiss chard so that is what we usually grow for us. The kid tried to pawn off some that kale on us but seeing as we are older and wiser, we just ignored him. hahahaha

Unless the word "chips" is preceded by the word "potato", I have no interest, but thanks for the link VA.

In reply to I was thinking about you and

Well, thanks for thinking of me, momoe. Actually, all was not well for me since the middle of April, but apparently, I'm too mean to die.

Our garden space is not limited. There are six acres of clay loam we can play with, but I have plans to build a couple 4 X 12 raised beds for next summer that I think will keep me busy enough to make me happy, so I will be doing the square foot thing, too.

Mr. flower did the gardening this summer. All I have to say about that is this:

But, our fruit crops were outstanding, We have jars and jars of strawberry, raspberry, mulberry and grape jam. The apple trees are loaded and we are in the midst of making cider, juice and sauce.

I am looking forward to your post on Sunday.

In search of a way to make greens more palatable, I made those a couple of years ago. They were good. Thanks for the reminder.

Well, 30 lbs. of kale is like maybe 7 lbs. cooked, but still. Uncooked it really does keep a long time in the frig, but then with 30 lbs. fuggeabout using the frig for anything else.

If you grow it in your own garden you can pick a leaf at a time as needed; this is the great thing about all leaf-type lettuces, too.

I was thinking about you and wondering if all was well with you. So glad to hear from you because it has been months. I love kale and it freezes nice. I just planted 10 kale plants in my little garden. My space is so limited that what I grow is more of a kitchen garden. I will be at the farm this Saturday and will post about it Sunday. Please don't stay away so long the next time.

The CSA my son participated in this summer one time gave each participant 30 pounds of kale as their weekly dividend.

In reply to Thanks but I don't really

Have trouble getting on my knees and back up again. I use a hoe to pull my self back up. I also have a foam knee mat that I bought for the garden. I have a small one I have used for the house. I still end up crawling around on the floor because of the kids. I guess that is a good thing.
