Green

The garden is full of greens. We are eating kale and mustard greens, green beans, pea pods, hot peppers, onions tomatoes, basil, peppermint and there are a few radishes left. It made me think that all we really need is a big bag of rice and beans and we could live all summer with just this little abundant backyard garden. So nice to see my daughter picking supper back there and checking to see what has bloomed or sprouted. We had the first sunflower which was picked for a friend and the second one is on its way to bloom. The garden is 4 - 4' x 4' raised beds. It is divided into square feet thus making it a square foot garden. My biggest question is whether to plant mustard greens next year. I have a bumper crop and so good for you but will have to google some more recipes. So far I have fried it in olive oil and a little garlic and once it is quite dark green you sprinkle a little apple cider vinegar over it which curiously takes some of the bitterness out.
