It looks like your garden is keeping you very busy, so many wonderful things. We tried something new this year, Dinosaur Kale, we grew it from seed started in the house. It is very sturdy and I think I will see if it can stay in the garden through the winter.
ReplyDeleteVery busy indeed! Too busy actually :). I'm going to try some kale this fall too, I hear it's a great green to overwinter. Would love fresh greens that time of year!
