Remnents of the Fall Garden
Well, I have to say that the Boc Choy remnant's are quite pitiful! BUT,adding it to a plate of mashed potatoes and a side dish of meat and maybe a gravy..ought to satisfy any poor soul. I will clean it up and make it into a meal and be thankful one day when I want a taste of Boc choy that I have it..At least I don't have to wash jars today :o) it's about enough for one of my food saver bags :o)

what a nice little harvest. I am sure it will come in handy when you are feeling green or like some green
I'd say you're still doing quite well for a harvest in January, Ginny! There hasn't been anything to harvest here for two or three months now. I hope you got a chance to do some weaving. :-)
Mrs. Pickles,
it was more than I thought once I got to cleaning and washing them up :o)
Daisy,
I'm still not finished, I have the Collards that are calling me and also the Rutabaga's...Seems I can't get to that weaving yet, something keeps stopping me :o(
You're very resourceful Ginny. I think I let to many good cabbage leaves go into the compost last week.
These cold weather harvests are always appreciated, even when they are small.
It looks and sounds like the garden is still blessing you with some nice food to fill your bellies!
Jody,
the guilt I would have felt wouldn't have been worth it, it was a lot of bending and stretching to get them into the ground, and to leave them there when I could have saved them would have made me feel bad..but in the compost you will be seeing them again..I guess sometimes it's priority.
Robin,
I can't complain about the harvest :o) I even got up the last of the boc choy ( a full pound when shrunk) I always think of you when I pick boc choy..it was you that taught me it was a fall crop :o) I've been enjoying them every since :o)
Gosh Ginny, you're getting wonderful goodies from your garden. Never thought about a salt water soak for frozen cabbage leaves. I should give that a try.
Leigh,
that's one of the old tricks we do, especially when you buy collards in the summer (when you don't have a fall garden) put them in salted water with ice cubes and it seems to perk them up quite a bit like the frost has hit them and that's when they are delicious ;o)
Like Leigh, I found what you said about using cold salted water interesting and will have to try that. Enjoy those hard earned greens.
Mr H.
i'm glad you got something out of my blog since your such an expert :o) I made the mistake of picking that kale you sent me in front of neighbor and had to share them since they were drooling over them :o) They were delicious. I didn't let the dk green ones get too big, I could have (or should have) waited a little longer.
Nice January harvest, unheard of around here! We were just reading that large servings of a variety of greens is the very best thing you can eat. You go, Miss Ginny!
Ladydi,
that going is tough sometimes :o) the bending over gets me in my back, but the taste of the greens makes it all better...:o)
