  1. We've just enjoyed a healthy lunch using some of our home grown #chard, #kale, #pea shoots, #nasturtium & #beer #bread along with some regular #salad too. The healthiness slipped a tiny bit by having coffee & a fresh cream choux bun for pudding! 😃

  2. A visitor turned around after we showed her the chickens. She pointed and asked "what tree is this?"

    Our oldest kale, going on five years, got a serious pruning, down to main trunk and some branch stubs.

    The diameter of the main "stem" is just under 3 inches, pretty much the same as our six year old white peach tree.

    Grow perennial kale if you can, my friends.

  3. Leaves of the popular ornamental #kale turn white under cold conditions...but how?
    Gong et al. define a molecular pathway linking cold perception to transcriptional #regulation and genetically controlled #leaf color variation.

  7. Not only do I have two different generations of lacinato #kale going, but I noticed I must also have two different strains. The older set was grown from starts from the nursery and the younger set was grown from seeds from Southern Exposure Seed Exchage. The former are the typical lacinato kale you’d find at the grocery store. The latter has more tender, lighter green leaves with less of a tight curl. The website claims they are an OSSI variety. @gardening

  8. wow! It's spring and the #serviceberry I almost killed has a few blooms on it and the #blueberry and #elderberry bushes are blooming as well. The #kale and #collards my bride planted are bolting because of the heat. The #dogwood is popping!

  9. You ever have one of those days where you try something new in the kitchen, and end up just hitting it OUT OF THE PARK somehow? That was today for me.

    I had a ton of lentils in the fridge that needed eating up, so I processed them into veggie "meat" balls, fried them up, and had them with leftover naan and a little plain yogurt. The bowl on the bottom here has a kale/cabbage salad with ginger dressing, cut up halo mandarins, and pecans from my tree outside. It was amazing.

  11. Woke up to KALE SPROUTS 🌱 I know the hard part is to come, but I'm so proud of making kale sprouts already! It is reassuring to know that my sprouting environment is conducive. #gardening #kale

  12. I think we all know what this country needs...

    #UnsolicitedNoods! ...and also less fascism.

    But today I can offer only noods. This morning's #ramen is joined by #kale, #broccoli, #avocado, #kelp, a tiny #radish, #sardines, and #scallions.

    Keep your chin up y'all, lest the broth dribble down your face. It's a good posture suggestion in all kinds of contexts, really.

  13. Cold Climate Gardening Tips for #Maine’s Short Growing Season

    By Jessica Knowles, February 3, 2025

    Excerpt: "Cool-season crops are a great choice because they can withstand lower temperatures and often mature quickly. #LeafyGreens like #spinach, #kale, and #lettuce not only grow well but can also be harvested multiple times throughout the season, making them highly productive. Root vegetables such as #carrots, #radishes, and #beets thrive in Maine’s rocky soil when it’s properly amended with compost. Brassicas, including #broccoli, #cabbage, and #cauliflower, are particularly hardy and perform exceptionally well when planted early in the season."

    ¿Alguien ha visto el verano por ahí? 🌡️

    Nos queda un poquito en el #LunesDeCestas pero ya terminando.

    Otro #melón. #pimientos gordos e italianos, como habitual. Un buen montón de hojas de #kale.
    #Tomates que van bajando en cantidad, pero no en colores. 🍅
    #puerros. #Ajos y #pepinos
    Y #berenjenas moradas, blancas y negras.

    ¡Disfrutad del fresquito! Que es lo que hay. 🤗

  17. #FolkMedicine #ElderlyDiet

    We're finding #Kale (as we use it; lots and with the stalks chopped up and steamed too) more effective than other steamed #LeafyGreens in keeping away from #Constipation.

    This is not a RCT, nor direct comparison of fresh or dried types of leafy greens by weight or volume.

    Added benefit: We claim, on the basis of "It feels good to say it", that leafy greens are improving complexions. 😃

  18. #Pesticides may contain an alarming amount of ‘#ForeverChemicals’: Study

    by Sharon Udasin - 07/24/24 2:01 PM ET

    "Toxic 'forever chemicals' are increasingly appearing in U.S. pesticides — contaminating waterways and posing a possible threat to human health, a new study has found.

    "Pesticides containing these compounds, called per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (#PFAS), are used widely nationwide on staple foods, such as #corn, #wheat, #kale, #spinach, #apples and #strawberries, according to the study, published Wednesday in Environmental Health Perspectives.

    "Known for their ability to linger in the human body and the environment, PFAS have been linked to many illnesses, such as thyroid disease, kidney cancer and testicular cancer.

    "PFAS-laden pesticides are also used inside homes, for flea treatments on pets and in insect-killing sprays, noted the authors, who represent several environmental organizations.

    "The researchers — from the Center for Biological Diversity, the Environmental Working Group and Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility — said they drew their conclusions by compiling data on sources of PFAS in pesticide products.
