carrots, collard greens, red russian kale, plantain, parsley, rosemary, edamame and lettuce
everything but the carrots were grown at the community garden. the plants seem to really like the straight mushroom compost soil over there.
this is my first fall garden, and i'm growing some of my favorite greens, including collards (woohoo!). i'm amazed at how fast they grow. this photo of them was taken last week and the leaves have since doubled in size.
i didn't photograph the big bunch of arugula i harvested yesterday, but here's a shot of a few plants from last week. they're growing like weeds!
speaking of weeds, did you see what's growing under the arugula - purslane!
if you're wondering what else i do with my greens, i use collards for green buns and make salads with kale and arugula. in this salad both are chopped and mixed in a balsamic-dijon marinade, topped with garden grape tomatoes and shelled hemp seeds. mmm!
Ohhh! It all looks so fresh and delicious! I can almost smell the aromas.
