Re: Harvest

Zem, my collards are growing in a pot--25-gallon pot with a poblano pepper in the middle. All my veggies are in pots. Two years ago, I gave up fighting the weeds and hostile elements involved in a regular in-ground vegetable patch and went to container growing. Best decision I've made in a long time. Our favorite is to chop the collard up and saute them with onions, broccoli heads, kalamata olives, pine nuts, and feta--and use that to dress pasta or soba noodles. Easy; delicious.

I just love collards, but I only plant tomatoes, peppers, basil and thyme in pots. I had to look up choi sum, but I recognized it when I saw what it was. It's a great stir-fry ingredient. I've used collards in stir-fry, too, and they are pretty good used that way.

Just picked collards for the third time. They're like zucchini. Also harvested from the first planting of choi sum; these are from seeds I planted on March 1, so the turn-around on that veg is very short. Almost instant gratification.
