In a way Friday felt like the last vacation day, since it is the weekend now and I have to start thinking about getting ready for work. It was such a wonderful day and I lingered in the garden for hours soaking it all in.
Awe, I hope your kale is giving you a great harvest. The dinosaur kale is a favourite of mine, one plant gives so much produce, and when I pick the bottom leaves it keeps growing new ones. It is almsot like a forever plant…if the snails don’t get to it.
This year will be my first time growing dino kale in a few years. I find the leaves a little tough for my liking but perhaps I was doing something wrong?
I don’t have to worry about snails here, it’s aphids in the spring I will have to worry about.
The tender, young leaves are great in salads as they are. I always cook the bigger leaves, either frying them or blanching them. If you leave them out until after the first frost the largest leaves will get sweeter and less tough.
