Today, with its mild weather, gray sky, soggy soil, and dewy day, you could've told me it was the first day of Spring and I would've believed you! The air was so fresh and clean smelling. And the rains that came later in the day- OH! -how I wished I had just transplanting something that was getting its first thirst quenching in its new place of settlement. This kind of day is very rewarding to spend in the Greenhouse, as well, because things are so very happy happy in there- growing along without a frost to have touched their suptle leaves. I did some cleaning out- pulled out all the celery- big big stalks, and most of the chard. A beautiful and bright heirloom golden chard, and silverado chard. It is inspiring to see the extent to which you can eat fresh greens all year around. Of course, it helps with this warming weather! Nonetheless, simple techniques of working with Mother Nature to harness the power of the Sun, surely goes a long way!
These greens got cooked right up for dinner, and the celery, I chopped up and put into a potato salad with pickles, tumeric & hard-boiled eggs from our hens. Dinners up!
