Each growing season I plant with the best of intentions and
for the most part, everything goes great.
However, there always comes a time when letting go is essential to the
success of the garden. My intention in
this case is to grow a robust crop, harvest as much as possible, remove at the
right time and go forward with planting something else. Yet, I consistently struggle with letting go
and as a result, it has been difficult for me to make the most of my gardening
space.
I have the hardest time parting ways with the collards and
kale. I love having beautiful, fresh
greens on hand for sautés, soups and salads throughout the week and my absolute
favorite is a good pot of greens with smoked meat on the weekends.
