The Winter Garden
I put up a covered wagon style hoop house over one of my garden beds to protect the hearty greens inside from the wet winter weather. I'm really excited to see how the chard, bok choy, collards, kale, mache and arugula do in there.
The near bed is all overgrown with nasturtiums, a sad cherry tomato plant that didn't do much and scraggly abandoned beans. Oh well, I'll clean it out this week and plant garlic in there.
Oh - hey you creative people - how should I keep that plastic attached to those PVC pipes? I tried duct tape but it melts on a sunny day and won't restick if the plastic is wet (It's kinda one or the other from here on out in Portland.). Anybody got briliant ideas? It's pretty thick plastic - 4 mil vinyl that had been storm windows in my apartment. Thoughts anyone?
collard greens cooked in bacon drippings
1 lb collard greens (hard stems removed and leaves chopped)
1/2 lb of bacon (reserve 2-3 tsp bacon grease)
1/2 onion
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
a few pinches of salt
a few pinches of sugar
Brown bacon, onion and garlic in a cast iron skillet. Once they have browned, remove bacon to paper towels to drain. Reserve 2-3 teaspoons of bacon grease.
Heat bacon grease and olive oil; add the collards, salt, and sugar. Put a tight fitting lid on the pot and let the collards wilt for about 10 minutes (or until tender). Add the bacon to the collards and serve.
