ah, the mighty kale!
just 2 inches tall and perfect is the day is blue.
this is in my front yard sheet-compost garden,
mulched round with straw.
with a large squirrel population, a groundhog, a cat and 10 loud grackls
sharing the garden with me, not too much has survived out there.
a few gorgeous milk thistle, shingiku, lettuce, kale and favas rise perfect and true.
milk thistle.
The only plant which actually repairs your liver;
eat the seeds, or take them in tincture.
(I know that when transplanting it is important to keep the hearts free of soil.
It is interesting to see that these, which have come up from seed here,
are cloaked in earth.)
