All your fresh greens and veggies made my mouth water. When I'm in Maine in the winter, I have easy access to fresh greens because a number of local farmers have adopted Eliot Coleman's four-season harvest techniques. But I haven't found any reliable source of winter greens in south-central PA, and I'm often reduced to buying California greens from the supermarket. -JeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-721055461531407267.post-35799945903859591392012-02-12T04:27:47.601-05:002012-02-12T04:27:47.601-05:00Fantastic!
