I never knew growing greens was so easy until I moved to Alaska. Since going to the grocery store isn’t as convenient as it once was, I decided to give it a try.
During our first summer, I used the totes that we used for moving to Alaska as my container garden. We drilled holes in the bottoms of the totes and filled them with soil, some from here and some garden soil brought from town. I mixed in my egg shells and other organic matter. I planted several varieties of greens. They have all grown well!
I don’t know why it is so satisfying, but I love picking the greens for a fresh salad. I also cut some chives that are growing in the yard. Today I am adding some strawberries, walnuts, parmesan cheese, and chicken. I’m topping it with a raspberry vinaigrette.
Mmmm… What garden goodies have you been enjoying these days?
