Debbie's Garden

An herbal experience!
(Dallas, Georgia)

Greens!

Yesterday I picked my first collards of the season and they were delish!  I had some Kale to eat up, too, so I cooked them together.  The arugula is really starting to shoot up, too, and I can't wait to have some in a salad, hopefully next week.  Growing your own food can't be beat ! Saw some swiss chard make an appearance, and spinich and lettuce too.....grow babies grow, cause you don't have long in Georgia before you will want to bolt! I am going to try using row covers to help keep them shaded as long as possible and "drag out" the season....wish me luck! Anyone got any tips on this, let me know by commenting or emailing me!  deb

Right now i have maybe 1/5 acre....going to be on 1/2 acre...which doesn't sound like much, but it's wide open, no trees....ripe for the plow! :)
