Put up the first of the frozen kale

Snipped the stems (and fed them to the goats), chopped it into 2" sections, boiled for 2 minutes then dumped into an ice bath.   Spun them dry in my salad spinner, then laid them out on a cookie sheet in the freezer overnight.   The next morning, they all went into a 1 gallon ziplock.   Sucked the air out and sealed it.    This is probably 3 servings right here.   I think I have about 60 more servings in the garden.   Kale's easy to grow (just water it, give it a dusting of diatomaceous earth for bugs) and nutritious.   It's more of an add-on, I wouldn't eat it plain, but added to soups, bean dishes and as a side dish it's excellent.   Plus, since I grew it, no pesticides.
