We have a good amount of seedlings that are ready to be put in the ground. Started these plants at the end of last month
In the picture above there is 12 Swiss Chard. Chard is a cool weather plant. Germination can be spotty in temperatures above 80°F. One of my favorite way to eat Swiss Chard is to sauteed it.
These 12 seedlings are Romaine Lettuce. Like all Lettuce, Romaine does best in cool weather. If you have a shady spot you can stretch out growing Romain during the summer. Romain Lettuce forms a head of lettuce.
Here we have 6 Red Cabbage plants. There are many different ways you can eat red cabbage. You can sautee it, boil it, braise it or mix it in a coleslaw. Goes great with fish tacos! It grows best in Spring and fall.
These 6 plants are one of my favorite leafy greens. Blue curly kale. I like it in salads or straight off the plant. Like most leafy greens it is a cool weather plant but will grow through the summer.
In this picture there is 12 regular cabbage plants. Very similar in tast to the red cabbage. With red cabbage tasting a bit more earthier. You can cook them the same ways.
Last but not least I have about 30 broccoli seedlings. Also a cool weather crop. In the heat they will bolt and go to seed. So unless you're trying to save seed from them make sure you harvest before it gets too warm.
I will be planting these next week and I will definitely bring you all along with me and show you how I plant them and what it looks like after I'm done.
I'm also doing a giveaway to my followers. There is still time to enter! Here's the link.
