Greens from the garden

Posted in Gardening

 

Last night’s dinner got a rousing, “Make this again!” from everyone around the table.

Oh. My.

PW’s Ginger Steak Salad is absolutely fantastic. The garlic and ginger will be a boost to your immune system.

But what made it even better, were the greens picked from the garden that evening by Z.

(What was not so delicious was the wasp that came in with them. Luckily nobody got stung. I have no idea how we missed him.)  

Mike planted the tiny little romaine plants back in December and we are loving the fruits of his labor. This is the first year we have planted that early, thinking we’d just give it shot and see if the leafy greens would make it through the cold nights of winter. To our culinary delight, they have. In January, he planted swiss chard, broccoli, cauliflower and butter lettuce.

So far so good.

Now my friends, go check out the Ginger Steak Salad.

 Even if you're not one inclined to eat meat such as I, let me assure you this is a one-size-fits all kind of meal!

Wow! You're garden is off to a great start. We can't plant anything yet, except for indoors. It's still too cold.

Sweet! We started our broccoli and cauliflower inside, but next year we'll follow your lead and start them much earlier. Your late winter garden is beautiful!

So jealous that things can be grown this time of year. It is time for me to start my starts, but then I broke my wrist. We'll see how I manage with one hand gardening this Spring.
