Thank you sooo much for this! We live in Mobile, AL and for the first time in 44 years, planted a garden. It was the first time since our girls were little. Some items did well, our squash, cucumbers, and a few other items was wiped out by the vine borer. Our onions didn't do much, and we decided to leave them for now. Your ammonium nitrate tip was a timely one. 😮
Girl, I got collard greens to grow that I haven't put in the ground yet but I didn't know I could put out cauliflower and broccoli here in the south. Thank you for all your research and sharing with us! My family loves kale chips! I'll have to find me some kale seed now! God bless you, Hun!
Since moving to Florida, I buy a lot of seeds from Hoss. They know good seeds for the South. That's where I found cowhorn okra. It stays tender even when they get pretty long. 👍
My husband won't eat greens at all so I dehydrate them and turn them into flakes of mixed varieties of kale, collards, mustard, bok choy, arugula, etc. and then I sprinkle them in food that I am cooking so it just looks like parsley to him ha ha I also frozen it and just sliced it up very very thin, tiny little pieces and added it to meals. I think I didn't care for is just the clumps of green, and since he doesn't really care for it, he didn't really want to chew it. Now he knows that I used the dehydrated flakes. He never complains, but still gets the benefits.
