kale

We've had some cold nights here in Maine. Down to 10F.

The kale lives. I planted a couple of rows last March and have been eating it since spring.

Today I picked an armload, solicited recipes on Facebook, and decided to roast. I poured a little olive oil in the bottom of a Dutch oven. That's an iron pot, lined with ceramic. I washed the kale, and cut it with my kitchen scissors, filling the pot. I added 4 big cloves of garlic, some chili pepper seasoning, and hot peppers. I baked it for half an hour at 350, and let it sit for an hour. It's perfect. Spicy and tender, green and red, flavor and nutrition.

Linda I'd love to try planting some in the spring.
One question though: do deer like to eat this also?
They loved to eat my tomatoes this last summer and weren't very good at sharing.

Meredith Kendall Deer? Maybe. I have a small fenced-in backyard, in the city. I did see a deer a few blocks away, once, at twilight. Doubt one would leap over the fence into my yard. Try it, it grows marvelously. Still have some in the garden, still good.
