Some of the produce TPS Farms enjoys growing during the winter months and into spring are leafy greens of many types.
While we typically grow many greens that we cook, or at least wilt, we have a few that are wonderful in salads. This winter we grew collards, red mizuna, komatsuna, green wave mustard, giant red mustard, kohlrabi, and little gem lettuce. We also had a few leftover radicchio volunteers that had regrown from the root stubs of an early 2024 spring planting.
Earlier this year, I was craving salad something fierce. John had just cooked up a whole batch of taco meat, so I suggested taco salads for dinner with some of the greens I had just harvested a couple of days before. John made some quick edible bowls from large flour tortillas, whipped up a quick spicy salad dressing, and we popped open one of the jars of salsa he had made during the early 2024 fall.

Well, it's time for me to get back to preparing beds for planting over the next couple of weeks.
See ya'll later!
