This week was exciting because we picked our first garlic ever! it is so big and beautiful...it is seating on top of our wood shed ready to be dried and stored for the winter. I also dried the kale that went to seed this year and I threshed the seeds on top of a tarp. Here is the picture of the seeds and seed pods. Now we don't have to buy kale seeds for a while!
Also, we have so much kale and chard and no space in our little freezer. So, the best way to keep the greens is by dehydration!
If you would like to do that, you have to cut the ribs out of each leaf, lay them in a single layer in the dehydrator at 125 F and for 4 hours minimum. They have to be brittle once they are done and trust me, they are tasty and will be awesome to have in soups in the winter !
