Keep the rakes away from that kale.
Die Bart, die.
Which of course translates to "The Bart, The".
I have three kale varieties and they are all doing really well. My spinach on the other hand is getting ravaged by some bug/pest that i haven't figured out yet.
Last year my kale got hit hard by aphids. I'm trying to avoid that this year by buying ladybugs.
Gorgeous. It'll make a delicious pesto sauce
I've never heard of kale pesto before. Do you add it or substitute it with basil?
Little of both. Use about half as much basil and as much kale as I can fet away with. I like to sub in toasted sunflower seeds for the pine nuts sometimes
I'm going to give this a try. Toasted pine nuts can be hard to come by and pricey for me.
Walnuts work well, too
Good to know. I'm excited to make some pesto once my basil grows a little bigger.
Has some broccoli vibes too. I've only ever seen kale heads, like cabbage, never like this.
I don't know why but it gives me the heebie jeebies.
Because it looks like the start of a kale fractal animation without end
