Chapter 17 - Kale Harvest

After my first salad, there were several other successful lettuce harvests, and then in early June, one excellent kale harvest. While I was away for the weekend in mid-May, the kale grew a ton, so by early June it was ready to eat. Many of the leaves were purple, and we harvested all of these and some of the smaller green leaves as well. Maria was there for the harvest, which of course resulted in a wonderful batch of crispy kale.

My kale was incredibly sweet - it almost tasted like red cabbage once it was cooked, since many leaves were so red. I seasoned it with salt and olive oil (and I think that's it).

It was a very happy day in the garden, and here are some pictures that document it.









I realize that this took place in early June, and now it's early July....I will do my best to catch up with this blog soon, and then keep it up to date, since there are always changes happening in the garden. Sadly, some of the changes that have happened since my kale harvest are for the worst, but I will still be documenting everything here. Have no fear though....the garden will survive!
