It's more that a little worrisome that I see that last year's plants are still looking just fine. Our lowest temperature for the winter (10F) was about 30 deg. F warmer than what was once normal. Not good at all. don bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05799694410755093963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811749743523633503.post-24001597262316609842013-02-23T10:15:53.735+00:002013-02-23T10:15:53.735+00:00SV, thank you.

For drying, I will echo Bev and suggest dehydrating them and keeping them in jars for soup mix. Also, have you tried making sauerkraut? <br /><br />Bev, you might be a lower elevation than Wyoming. <br /><br />Brian Kallerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11082602126850605083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811749743523633503.post-52315706781983733212013-02-23T01:26:07.698+00:002013-02-23T01:26:07.698+00:00There is, sv koho.

Here in southern Australia, kale is a winter crop. It's the hot summers it doesn't like so much.Bevnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811749743523633503.post-15100842274230065732013-02-22T21:02:10.836+00:002013-02-22T21:02:10.836+00:00Brian: I so enjoy your comments on life in the Iri...Brian: I so enjoy your comments on life in the Irish rain with the girl and you just hit our favorite vegetable. Our goal is to have sustainable agriculture in a harsh NW Wyoming climate. The growing season has been very short but global warming is helping out. We fight all the usual enemies of the garden and we have also settled on Kale and our beds grow<br />larger every year.We have early varieties, arctic varieties, curly and colored varieties and love them all as do our sheep and chickens and moose! We normally eat it raw in salads but cook it similar to your simple recipe, usually beefing it up a little with something piquant like bacon or anchovy. Now if there was just some way to store it over the winter....sv kohohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11058401490041584973noreply@blogger.com
