This December I planted some arugula, rainbow chard and mustard greens in our little cold frame/greenhouse we'd just built. It took a while for things to come up and they looked pretty spindly with not much light and only the chicken manure planted under them to keep warm but slowly the green emerged, much to my delight! I watered just once in a while and used fish fertilizer, wanting to pamper the baby plants as much as possible. Once the sun started shining for days at a time, the leaves appeared, large and green and now look! The salad is a decadent mix of baby arugula and sunflower sprouts with a bit of carrot and olive garnish. Sinan made some sprouted chick pea humus and stir fried the mustard greens and chard with some garlic and ginger to put on rice. Heaven. It is my wish for everyone to grow a little something to eat. It connects us all.
Yum!!! Inspiring as always, and so exciting you planted greens in December!!
