Re: Fall plants

OHMYGOSH, cook those greens in true "southern style" - with some bacon
for flavor. And THEN, pour a smidge of gourmet vinegar over them when
you eat 'em. Tasty stuff. I grew up with food like grits, collard
greens, fried chicken, polk salad (yuck, never developed a taste for
that). Serious "soul food". I don't cook like that much because my
husband had a heart attack and I watch what he eats. But every now and
then..I go all southern and just cook up a storm. The kids LOVE it. My
husband always asks for it on Father's Day.

variety--I think it's an heirloom--producing for 5 months or longer by 
planting it in mostly shade and judiciously picking only the larger 
leaves.
