Removed last years stalks of collard greens earlier this week since they were going to seed and this years collard greens are growing rapidly. The collards from last year I let go a bit longer than normal and the stalks were long twisted and tough! I needed an axe to chop through the stalks! I then took the leaves off washed and will cut up later.<\/p>\n

Earlier today I used the small tiller to prep the area last years collard greens were and planted yellow bell peppers, jalape\u00f1o peppers, summer squash, yellow crooked neck squash and another eggplant.<\/p>\n

While tilling the soil and raking it I kicked off my flip flops and went barefoot in the cool rich soil, it felt great! I forgot how nice it feels to go barefooted with cool dirt beneath your feet.That’s the thing about gardens they give a nice return in lots of areas you can’t perceive along with the obvious until you do it!<\/p>\n

Last years collard greens gone to seed with peppers I will rotate into their spot.<\/strong><\/p>\n
