We had another very productive meeting today at the garden. A dedicated group of gardeners showed up to help us plant some kale (brought in by Ms. Chung) and some Swiss chard (brought in by Danielle) that will grow over the winter. We also got a chance to use our compost, which has been over two years in the making, and it is as healthy as ever. We're keeping the newer kale plants covered for now so they have a chance to grow undisturbed while they adjust to their new home.
Hopefully the newly transplanted kale will grow as abundantly as our existing plants, seen below. Here we are harvesting some kale that was planted last season. Some tips for eating include:
-Boil and serve with oil and vinegar
-Stir-fry and serve with other dishes
-Eat raw
Kale also tends to get sweeter after the first frost.
A bit of a post script here, but at the end of our meeting, we saw huge flocks of migrating Canada geese:
That's it for now. Stay tuned for more!
