Since my last harvest update post, I've picked the rest of the arugula (over 3 lbs), all of the kale (over 1.5 lbs), some more mustard greens (12 oz) and just 4 kohlrabi (2 lb 2 oz)! My total for the season is
::::::::::::::::::::::::::drumroll please:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
13.94 lbs!!!
If I didn't have a food scale, I'm not sure I'd believe it, but it's true! In the whole of last year I only harvested 26 lbs to put in perspective how monumental this is for me and my little patch of dirt. But, as I said before, as exciting as getting these big-for-me harvests are, the lingering question is: How can we possibly eat this many greens? I'm getting over greens & I haven't harvested *any* lettuce yet, btw. Yikes, right?
Worse case, we'll blanch & freeze. Or see if mustard greens pesto is any good (and freeze that).
Love it! We're a little behind you in the gardening arena - but just harvested some arugula!
