Salad from the Collard Patch

Throughout the summer and this fall, we've enjoyed adding little green leaves to our salads. Sometimes we have enough leaves to make an entire bowl full.

A fresh crop of collards in backyard flower pots will soon be ready to pinch off and add to salad.

Arugula adds an intriguing taste to salad. We've trimmed off leaves from our big pot of arugula. The leaves grow back.

Parsley is popular as a garnish. The leaves can also add taste to salad.

Basil is a hardy, easy-to-grow herb. A few leaves can add taste to a salad. Warning: don't overdo it.

As the weather cools, we hope to grow different varieties of lettuce.
