Week 3 - Happy Memorial Day!
This week we planted our pollinator habitat. 32 different varieties of flowers and grasses specially formulated to support our pollinator population. We carefully prepped the ground, spread the seed, and then covered in straw to prevent erosion and maintain moisture while the seed germinates.
Hakurei Turnips- are sweet and mild. Sometimes called salad turnips these are delicious raw, and take on a whole new flavor and texture when cooked. Turnip leaves are also edible and taste similar to mustard greens, and make delicious stir-fries and sautés. Turnip root is high in Vitamin C, and the leaves are high in good source of vitamin A, folate, vitamin C, vitamin K and calcium.To store turnips remove greens and store separately in a plastic bag. The roots will last several weeks stored in a plastic bag in your crisper drawer.
