I picked this↑ yesterday (it was way down near the ground in that dense bush in the background, very much in the shade) left it overnight in a paper bag to finish.
Then yesterday I asked my friends in FB if I could harvest those big outer leaves from my cabbages and use them (what we normally pick off and leave in the produce aisle)
This morning I picked and washed these:
Which I fried in bacon fat until they looked like this:
(I had cut the fat off the steak I was going to cook to add more fat to the cabbage)
So that tonight, I feasted!
ALl but the tomatoe and the cabbage greens were store bought, and I still have more than ½ of the meal left right now.
Gonna have me some dump cake with ice cream, then will most likely fall into a food coma
I weighted 184.8 lbs this morning! MOST excellent!

Hey Jerry, the garden is looking great this year! The cooking looked finger licking as per the usual as well. I hope all has been well my friend.
Howdy Jacob, I was thinking about you yesterday. Great minds....
Health has been improving (knock on wood) especially RE: Mobility issues. That is a GREAT thing.
Spending a ton of money on this backyard/patio too. Nearing the end, basically just flagstones to get installed
Getting a gutter to catch the rain that comes down between my carport and the old wooden garage this morning
Good to hear from you my friend.
It's great to hear you've had some improvement with health issues. I hope the rest of the season continues in a positive direction for you and hope you're able to achieve all of your goals this year. I hope the gutter job goes smooth for you too, looks like a bit of work there..
I paid $170 for this little piece, and I helped in the install a bit too
A tomato already! We sure live in a different climate than you do. We don't even put a tomato plant out into the garden until the end of this month.
All of my tomato plants were almost a foot tall when I bought them, several already had fruit when I put them out. I am blessed I guess
Great to hear from you @scribblingramma

During the summer these things grow a lot and the joy of seeing them is also very high because we water them on time and take care of many things that are also very good for our health.
