Default Now what ?

Well , the spinach and lettuce has come up , the bok choy is there from
seed that fell before I harvested the pods . And today I tilled the straw
from around the potatoes (what a disappointment ...) into the ground to
add more organic matter , prepped the area up by the lettuce and planted
about 100 garlic cloves . I'm debating with myself whether or not to plant
some kale - we've never tried it , might be good in salads . I need to
inventory my seed supply , see what else might be a good fall crop , I
have about 3-5 rows 25 feet long that are ready to plant ... or I could
just let them lie fallow until next spring .


To me kale is a tough leafed bitter form of greens I like it cooked but
would struggle with it in a salad, it would take too much chewing, but
cooked into chips it would be as nice as croutons.
