Crossing the Road
As the fall is approaching in my area, one of the best things to plant are greens. My favorites are:
Lettuce
Swiss chard (tastes like a cross between beet greens and spinach, we mostly like to sautee it but the baby leaves are good in a salad, and it grows straight from spring to fall if you harvest the biggest leaves as they grow. Even had a deer eat it down to the nubs one year and the plants grew back strong a few weeks later!)
Arugula
Kale
I have grown collards but my family thought they were too bitter. There’s lots of Asian greens we have never tried. I planted curly endive this year for the first time.
Curious to know what greens you grow, and if they are on the less-common side, if you could give a brief description of taste and how to prepare would love to get some new ideas of what to plant!
