These tiny plants pack a huge flavor.
Red Russian Kale, Napa Cabbage, radish micro, dill and Tuscan Kale. These are all from thinning out our seedlings in the greenhouse. I always love making salads off of our thinnings #nofoodwaste

DietID_TeamDietitians 9yr Does "thinning" In farming mean the same thing as "thinning" when you get a haircut? Maybe a dumb question, but I don't know! -
olivettefarm 9yr @Rachna pretty similar! Sometimes when we seed in the greenhouse we accidentally drop multiple seeds into a cell. There's not enough room in each cell for multiple seeds to grow healthy before planting out, so we generally pinch one off, or thin it out to let the other grow healthy. -
DietID_TeamDietitians 9yr Ohh so interesting!!!! I can't wait to come down to visit
-
olivettefarm 9yr @Rachna you're welcome anytime!

JenniferEmilson 9yr How interesting!!
Eat your radish greens!
Small radishes like this one tend to have nice, tender greens that taste very similar to the radish themselves. Use them to add a little spice to your greens mix. #nofoodwaste #FoodRevolution

sugardetoxme I love baby radishes and turnips. Eat the whole thing!! BTW, I wanted to let you know that those lacewings work like a charm indoors! No aphids!
-
JenniferEmilson Oh yes- I roast them just like kale or Brussels sprouts chips!!
-
olivettefarm @JenniferEmilson yes! So good.
Bugs decided to make some art on my collards.

sugardetoxme I'm about to try some green lacewings on my aphids indoors. Good idea or bad idea @olivettefarm
-
olivettefarm @sugardetoxme good idea to kill aphids, but they may procreate a little more than you might want in your home. Aside from that they'll do great and won't explore around the house as much as...
Red Russian Kale - my favorite variety.
Red Russian is quick growing, delicious, nutritious, and very productive. It's an heirloom as well! What's not to love?
-
mirasingh How long did it take to grow this big after planting the seeds?
-
olivettefarm @mirasingh these plants are about 6weeks old. 4wks in our greenhouse and 2wks in the ground.

mirasingh So quick!! You should do a time lapse video 👍
Wheatgrass - love it or hate it?
We grow and sell a good bit of wheatgrass, but have found it to be a polarizing crop as well. It's health benefits are very contested. Some swear by it, some swear against it. What are your thoughts?
-
DietID_TeamDietitians I'm not a die hard fan because it's made me feel a bit sick to my stomach once. Other than that, I know it's packed with nutrients but there hasn't been any good research on that I've found. Anyone...

lauren What are the uses other than juicing?
-
olivettefarm @Rachna I've also yet to find any strong research on the benefits of it, a lot of it is still anecdotal at this point..to my knowledge at least. The breakdown of nutrients actually isn't that...
