First harvest from my kale planted in late July for a fall crop. It grew under a row cover to keep all the cabbage loopers away, as they were intense at that time.
The wild cranberries are ready! Just in time for Thanksgiving like every other year. These are completely different than the commercial cranberries in bags at the grocery store. I like eating the odd one raw, using them in smoothies, and of course, stewing them.
I've grown scarlet kale the last few years and I swear by the fact that cabbage moth does not like it. Yes there are a few here and there but mostly..they don't like red / purple brassica varieties. The kale is wonderful isn't it..so earthy.
ReplyDeleteCranberry time!! yah..
Very cool! I've been trying to get my hands on a red or purple variety of kale and have only been able to find seeds from the green varieties. This variety is White Russian I believe. Maybe next year I'll find some!
ReplyDeleteI got mine at Halifax seed...Scarlet Kale...it is very dark, purple black and quite a knock out in the garden. I also grow red ball brussels sprouts, again, not as troubled by the cabbage moth. Good luck.
