Mustard greens from the hoop house ...

The few of those greens that we have had so far in 2025 were from the greenhouse and survived the Winter. Mustard greens aren't my favorite but there will be pac choi and choy sum as early as next week –– perhaps. Gai Lan, will be after awhile and broccoli raab before too long .

You may notice that my spelling of the Asian vegetables is changing some. Just say them out loud ... . The "p" is unaspirated, if'n we are gonna spell them that way. English doesn't use that sound altho it is common in many languages. Choi? Choy? Come on! I guess the "seed industry" will make a decision at some time ... "guy lon" appears to have passed into history . The guy named Lon that I used to know was older than me and would be about 90, if'n he himself hasn't passed into history by now. Anyway, I will try to communicate so that others have some idea of what I'm writing .

on the way out of the fenced gardens there were a few green bunching type onions (Tokyo very mild) growing in the pathway that looked nice enough to eat so i brought them in and made them for brunch with a few slices of ham, some cheese and a few drops of mushroom flavored soy sauce. umami bomb... very tasty.

Cilantro.

Of course, they are from the hoop house but they will be along shortly outdoors. There is nothing too special about having cilantro early in the season and, it has it's role in stir-frying Spring greens, the trick is having cilantro late. It has worked well to sow seeds in the sweet corn as those corn plants are nearing the harvest. After the stalks are cut down, the cilantro takes off and provides us with cilantro at the end of the growing season.

We have green onions now and chives.
