What Ever Happened to That Mesclun Mix?


Most of it didn't even get eaten, except by insects, but went to seed. The red mustard and arugula bolted very early on. Part of the duty of every home gardener is to make sure what is sown is nurtured until it meets an untimely death in the kitchen. Sometimes that just doesn't work out, but I did manage to transplant the Russian Kale and it had a chance to overwinter and thrive in the Winter garden along with some Swiss chard. Not wanting to see it escape yet again, I gave some to friends, because if the truth be known, I've never cooked kale before and really don't know what to do with it, beyond adding it to a soup.
