I finally got around to processing some of the greens growing in the raised beds at my place in Silver Spring.
Turnip:
I pulled the remaining turnips and processed the greens by blanching, vacuum packing, and freezing. I got 1 pint of turnip greens frozen. Also, I got a handful of turnips! I will probably roast these later - they are in the fridge in water right now.
Radishes:
I also pulled all the radishes. They are getting too much shade I think. The bed they are growing in is a major disappointment this year. Nothing seems to want to grow there! It might be a shade issue. I got 2 pints of radish greens frozen and about 2 pints of radishes. Radishes are in the fridge in water - I have to think of something to do with them! I will make a couple of radish sandwiches - pumpernickel, butter and sliced radish - supposed to be good. We will see :)
Kale:
All of the greens I processed today have been in good health, but the kale was superb! I froze 2 pints of the greens. The freezer is getting full! I will have to take some of these things up to the farm deepfreeze this coming weekend.I don't have time to process the mustard or collard greens. Next week?
