No kidding. I dried a backseat (laid it out on a sheet and let the heat in the car do it's magic) of lacinto kale, blitzed it in the food processor, and have one scant cup of magic potion. It was a lot of kale, people. It is interesting dried. Not potent, a mild crunchy treat actually. It is, apparently, the latest health food craze. Whoda thunk?

Salads are a big deal right now. We eat them seasonally, never buying grocery store we are, like, chuffed. The current belle of the ball is a lone spinach plant that overwintered. Scott harvests a bag of it weekly. (The lettuce harvest is more frequent.) The close runner up are the radishes. Maybe we planted too many. We eat them daily, the radishes. Truth be told, they are a lot of crunchy fun! A great substitute for chips. Not chocolate chips y'all, potato chips.
Established herbs deserve a shout out here. All is well! The best is the parsley which is about to flower and make seeds for another year. New ones are ready to go in!
For all other harvests we wait. And plant. And plant some more. And water, because it has not rained in almost two weeks. That friends is a sad sentence carrying more meaning than non-gardeners can imagine. Sad. Very sad. On the bright side it is not humid. 😎
