    Growing or Buying Lettuce and Leafy Greens

    October 22, 2020

    Most of us do not eat as many vegetables as experts recommend, especially lettuce or leafy greens. But they are so important because they provide healthy fiber, vitamins, minerals, and other substances, many of which prevent disease. In my neck of the woods, (zone 8, maybe 7), it is time to plant leafy greens for a late fall, early winter harvest. Considering the prices and all the recent health recalls for leafy greens, I am looking forward to eating some specimens grown in my own backyard. Growing leafy greens It is not difficult to grow your own fresh, leafy greens if you pay attention to timing. These delicate vegetables do…

    Tips for Flavorful Cooking Experimentation

    September 14, 2020

    Cooking is not only a great skill to learn on its own but it’s also a fantastic way to keep yourself occupied during a pandemic. I use recipes frequently, some of you might recall several years ago when I did my own little cooking experimentation; I did not repeat a single meal for a year.
