My neighbor brought over a huge armload of this, plus a couple of really gorgeous looking cucumbers. I had to look up recipes for the leafy greens. Seems it can be done by de-veining it, chopping it up, and sauteeing it with bacon and garlic. Sort of like you’d do with Brussels Sprouts. I always thought that stuff was fed to rabbits.
Anyway, I thanked him for it, stuck it in a 5 gal. bucket with water, and told him that he was welcome to come harvest whatever he wanted out of our herb garden, since our veggies aren’t ready for harvest yet. Basil, oregano, sage, thyme, mint, and rosemary are all there for the harvesting. I don’t care how much he takes. We’ll dry the annuals, and sort-of-annuals in fall. We can’t use all of it fresh in marinara, salsa, and on chicken before then.
We will bring him real produce when our garden gets a giddy-up. He’s got his own garden, but we don’t grow all the same things.
