Kale Is Among The Most Nutrient-Dense Foods on The Planet
Early Summer, I planted a good number 10+ Dinosaur Kale plants into our community garden. It was ready to pluck this week with the heat creeping higher. It doesn’t like over 90 degree weather and we are getting 100’s this weekend. A good rule of thumb is to harvest it when it’s about 10 inches high. In taking off the outer leaves, the plant will produce more inner leaves and a larger harvest.
I know some don’t like Kale but I do! You can eat it raw, saute it, dehydrate and bake it. One way I alter Kale up for my family is by presenting it to them in a snack format that is great for at home or for all those on the go travels and adventures.
It is time for a community garden update! As we are in the hottest time of the year, (100 degrees a few times last week) the vegetables, flowers and herbs are growing by leaps and bounds!
It has been one month to the date since we acquired our community garden plot. It’s been dug out, hoed, tilled and sowed with seeds of all sorts. How will it continue to grow? Only time will tell in that.
This weekend I brought out the painting supplies and decided to make hand-painted plant markers for our garden. I am really pleased with these. They are not only satisfying to create but it adds a personal touch to our families garden that also show cases our love for painting rocks together!
I am planning to make more to mark the rest of our growing herbs, flowers and vegetables soon!
Do you have a garden? If so, how have you added a personal touch?
