Whew! Rick and I recently returned from teaching 17 days in a row! As always, it was a joy to teach our information to such a fun and enthusiastic group of students. After a short rest, we are now in the process of preparing our raised beds for planting. Here is a photo of our beds filled with compost, awaiting the arrival of new starts:
We still have some frisée greens growing in our beds, so I made a green juice with them and some ingredients from our local natural food market:
7 stalks of celery (12” long)
1 lemon, peeled
1 medium cucumber, 8” long
4 cups frisée greens
Here are some of the nutrients found in these ingredients:
