RE: The Fall Garden is Sprouting- Featuring Rainbow Chard, Russian Red Kale, and Spinach

in #gardening7 years ago

Yep, that kale is getting nearly big enough to start harvesting already, one of the things I like about kale-- near-instant gratification in gardening standards-- that spinach will probably take forever, it is. slow.
I always hesitate to use the steemiteducation tag, I never know if it's appropriate. Since of course all of my stuff is educational, it is tricky. ;)

Sort:  

I love kale. I have a friend who is a big time gardener, and at a certain point of the summer myself and a girlfriend pick through his garden and make Italian dishes featuring lots of kale. Although I think her main motivation is the fresh salsa, he has everything you could want to go in salsa and we make tons of it :)

I know what you mean, I think it's trickier for the author to decide to use certain tags, and I'd probably feel the same if it were me, but if you do a step by step of how you built the greenhouses with pictures, take my word for it, it's appropriate. I nearly told you to use it for this one, but definitely that one will be fine.

Gad, maybe it's the troubles with posting and up voting, but I used that fancy tag on an 'educational' post yesterday and it was universally ignored. lol Maybe I'll start posting 4 times a day (you might want to disconnect your auto-vote for this!) My idea for the next educational post, 'winterizing your garden'; (no picture) "I threw plastic over my shit to keep it from freezing. Upvote and resteem!"
Don't worry, I amuse myself thinking of stupid things to do, but I usually don't actually do them. I predict that these glitches will be gone by the weekend, and we can all regroup.

I'll take care of that, han told me if he misses one to drop him the link in chat...actually he said come to chat and punch him in the face LOL,

At one point I had to go check to make sure I spelled 'education' correctly :\
thx for the backup.

One reason that I hesitate using the tag is that I used it on a post a few weeks back and after a few hours, I decided that I was stretching the meaning of 'education' and I went and edited the tag out, so nobody would have to struggle with me about it. That said, I just used the tag today on a little filaree seed post :0

*That same friend is a gardener for an herb we both enjoy as well ;) And he is a gifted grower, I've become a snob for that particular herb because of him.

That is a friend indeed! Nice to have a gardener friend nearby, I used to know one or two.
