I have been pleased with ours so far this year.<br /><br /> I did plant some more lettuce for a fall crop now.Abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842277589160618685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720122887391988458.post-79520685836860395572016-06-30T09:03:25.159-05:002016-06-30T09:03:25.159-05:00My garden greens are almost big enough to start ea...My garden greens are almost big enough to start eating some as well. For some reason they have been slower than normal this year. I have radishes ready and some types of lettuce. <br /><br />I am growing 3 types of kale, swiss chard, 5 types of lettuce (I look for slow-to-bolt and non-bitter types. I like red sails and amish deer tongue the best). I am also growing tatsoi. <br /><br />We discovered cooking radishes. Otherwise my children find them too hot and spicy. We half them and steam them for 4 minutes. They taste similar to cauliflower. I want to grow more of them next year.<br /><br />I recently also learned that you can eat a lot of the leaves of some things. Radishes is one. I didn't know that before. Just don't eat rhubarb leaves! :)<br /><br />I like cooking a big crock pot full of chick peas to use in salads. They freeze well.I have to get back to making sprouts. Nolanoreply@blogger.com
