I am not sure if it arrived or if we have had a year with only Spring and Fall.
This Spring has been about greens. One bag of seeds can provide months of greens. I cut the leaves and don't pull the root until the leaves begin to wane. I also buy greens at the farmers market or the grocery store. Remember to control yourself as one bunch goes a long way. I think that is why I like growing it. It can grow nicely in a pot and especially in fall and winter the flower pots make a great location for greens.
Another seed we forget is well know for being a green, yet most eat it as the seed-CHIA. It spouts quickly, 24-48 hours. Can be used as a sprout to be planted in dirt. In Spain I saw huge ancient chia plants. When grown large it produces a beautiful flower cone.
I challenge you this week to pick a vegetable or green that you have never tasted. Remember to try it several ways before deciding you don't like it. Begin with raw without dressing or prep, then add dressing; then, cooking: saute, steam are generally best for most foods.
I encourage you not to get tied to recipes as they can be very limiting in trying new foods. Baking is the only time I really use a recipe. ost
Buen provecho, Elsa
