Braising greens are going in the ground this week! Hope they can handle the heat and humidity, I am sure ready for a nice cool front. The picture is about half of our first planting of Rainbow Chard, Tuscan Kale, Collards, and curly kale. They will only take a few weeks to get mature enough to harvest but it seems to me they take forever, I guess because I see them everyday. Other greens we are planting include red and green mustards, arugula, mizuna, red russian kale. salad mix, bok choi, and once it cools off we will try some spinach. Stay safe and eat your veggies!
