Kale is a member of the cabbage family and is considered a super food along with broccoli, collard greens, cauliflower and brussels sprouts. It is a cool weather plant and does well in both spring and fall. I grow it just like lettuce or cabbage. Good soil with a little compost is all that is needed. Nutes will cause it to flower prematurely. It will make you shit like a pigeon. ha haSo seems Kale should be a pretty straight forward and easy crop to grow and as the fall season approaches I think i may throw down a bed or a tent worth. Anyone kale fans? Any specific types that are better? Soil needs look pretty basic, any suggestions? Was considering with the low needs trying to make a vegan soil mix (for my fancy friends lol) and give em some vegan organics so i can talk a little shit. ha. Any foresight will be appreciated!

what we do to preserve eggplant, is we make a bunch of eggplant lasagna or eggplant parmesean and freexe and save for the winter.We're having a BUMPER CROP of eggplant this year and have been trying to figure out how to preserve it.
Here in Montana, we plant our potato's in June, and harvest at the end of September. I understand you live in Cali but I wanted to give you and idea of how long potato's take. Commercial potatos are sprayed with herbicide to kill the vines and then left in the ground for about 2 weeks. Having the plant dead makes easier harvest. Organic farmers like myself will cut the vines off and leave in the ground for 2 weeks and harvest as usual. Leaving them in the ground for those 2 weeks will help the skins "harden up"Oh, this year was also my first time growing potatoes. I didn't know when I'm supposed to harvest,
Look into "wire worms".Some had been attacked by ants or something, pockmarked with little holes that have allowed molding
Oh...! Well... I dug some up while green still, and those didn't come clean from the dirt and I was wondering why that was. D'oh! Thanks a LOT!what we do to preserve eggplant, is we make a bunch of eggplant lasagna or eggplant parmesean and freexe and save for the winter.
