Re: Fall plants

I save the center ribs to make vegetable stock. But the rest of the leaves, I chop and stir-fry with a Vietnamese chili-garlic sauce [just a dab], Okinawan spinach [it grows like a weed in the lathhouse], onions, pumpkin seeds, pine nuts, and peppers [hot or sweet or both].

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.

  I discovered just this year that I can keep the "Georgia Southern"
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.
