A way to solve bitter greens
If you have greens that taste bitter this is the trick to solve that. Soak the greens in a sink of water for 5 minutes. Also this is good if the leaves look limp and lifeless.
.
A greens storing trick
After washing your greens dampen a dish towel or a piece of cloth. ( one frugal cloth is to take a old pillow case and ripe it open ) and wrap your greens with it and place in a plastic bag. Store in your crisper. Easy and it makes your greens last longer. Frugal and easy...what could be better ?
.
I have for years told many if you only grew one thing to save your self a bundle is grow salad greens. You can grow them in the ground or containers ! On a deck or almost any where !

Lets save our pennies, nickles, dimes, and dollars together !

"There are only a few big ways to save money but there are many small ways ....that all adds up."
"If mothers could learn to do for themselves what they do for their children when these are overdone, we should have happier households. Let the mother go out to play!
If she would have the courage to let everything go when life becomes too tense, and just take a day, or half a day, out in the fields, or with a favourite book, or in
a picture gallery looking long and well at just two or three pictures, or in bed, without the children, life would go on far more happily for both children and parents.
The mother would then be able to hold herself in "wise passiveness’ and would not fret her children by continual interference even of hand or eye - she would let them
be." ...Charlotte Mason
