Leafy green winter
We discovered last year that
a simple quick
hoop can help most leafy greens survive the winter and the cold
seems to add a sweet flavor to the taste.
This year's list is quite
yummy.
Mustard
--- Tendergreen, Broadleaf, and Giant
Lettuce
--- Red Saladbowl and Black-seeded Simpson
Kale ---
Red Russian and Improved Dwarf Siberian
Tatsoi
Tokyo
Bekana
Swiss
Chard --- Fordhook Giant
It's my opinion that fresh
cut greens from the garden can perk you up on a cold winter day much
better than frozen produce no matter how awesome it was when you first
picked it.

Collards
Daddy --- I suspect that the fact your favorite greens are my least favorite greens and vice versa may be part of the reason I didn't think I liked greens until I moved to our farm.
