How to Freeze Kale

October 27, 2015 by crystal@wholefedhomestead 11 Comments

I am quickly becoming known as The Kale Lady. I hand out big bunches to family and friends, and make anyone who tours our garden eat a piece, especially if they’ve never had it before, and extra-especially if they try to tell me they don’t like it. I love cooking with it and try to […]

Beef & Kale Stroganoff

October 15, 2015 by crystal@wholefedhomestead 10 Comments

I just… really love kale. I know a lot of people don’t- they think that it’s old news, yesterday’s vegetable, yadda yadda. I whole-heartedly disagree. Kale is awesome and I put it in all the things. Not only because it tastes good, but because it is loaded with nutrients! Case in point: Beef & Kale Stroganoff. […]

🥔🎉 I haven’t finalized this year’s potat 🥔🎉 I haven’t finalized this year’s potato list quite yet. If you have an absolute favorite variety, I’d love to hear it! Here’s what I have so far:
.
German Butterball: this is our favorite potato! A must-grow for sure. It’s an all-purpose variety, and it’s a gorgeous grass-fed butter yellow inside.
.
Papa Cacho: the most amazing red fingerlings, digging these looks like pulling red bananas out of the dirt because they’re nearly a foot long! They are so fun!! Delicious too and gorgeous rosy color inside (pictured above).
.
Upstate Abundance: this is a new variety for me from Row 7, who specialize in good-tasting varieties. It’s also supposed to be high-yielding and fairly disease-resistant.
.
Norkotah & Burbank Russets: we’ve been growing both of these for years. I was hoping a winner would emerge and I’d just grow one of these types, but so far that hasn’t happened so I keep planting them both! They are good but I’d love a russet type that blows me away.
.
What say you- what are your must-grow potatoes?!

🧅🎉 I “winter-sowed” some more onion seed 🧅🎉 I “winter-sowed” some more onion seeds today (and showed the whole *very easy* process in my stories!). This is a fantastic technique if you don’t have a grow light set up or don’t want to babysit any seedlings! Mother Nature does most of the work.

On that note, today is the start of The Great Grow Along!! A whole bunch of us gardeners are getting together to share real-time updates from our gardens every week on Wednesdays —> find us all here @thegreatgrowalong and thanks to our sponsors, @tractorsupply and @gurneysseed.
