Tuesday's Harvest
Today, I will make only a quick post...The last few nights have had temperatures, again, plunging quite low—into the lower teens. Today the temperature is supposed to go into the low 40s in the afternoon, so I'm going to try to water the vegetables to give them some moisture because it's been many, many days since they've had a drink. Then I'll get them tucked in again in the hoop house to protect them from the cold and wind of night.
Yesterday I wanted some broccoli raab for dinner. I picked not only the broccoli, but also as much as my aluminum 13x9 pan would hold—even heaping it up until the leaves were tumbling off to the ground. After bringing it into the house and washing it off, I took a photo of yesterday's harvest to share with you...
Don't they look awesomely healthy?
We consumed the broccoli raab (the stack in the lower right corner) with dinner last night. Yum! I sauteed it with olive oil, fresh garlic, and grated ginger. It made a great accompaniment to the rest of the dinner of baked potatoes with butter and chili beans. Look how many greens we have left to consume until my next venture out to check on the hoop house veggies!
Bon appetit! Stay warm and healthy out there!
