Casaubon’s Book: Season Extension - Getting More Green From Your Garden
Casaubon’s Book » Blog Archive » Season Extension - Getting More Green From Your Garden
My favorite way to eat most foods is fresh, just picked. That means my absolute favorite way to store food is to extend my garden’s season so I don’t have to do any major preservation work. And this is so easy - fall gardening is fun, no pests, and the food tastes better after a frost or two generally - the difference is huge. Kale eaten after a hard freeze is tender, with a deep sweetness. Kale before a freeze ain’t bad. Carrots that have undergone some cold weather are sugary, cabbage sweet and crisp. This is a good thing.
