Because winter seems determined to arrive early this year, I've been foraging-again.
Today I helped Dad gather in greens for Mom to can. He wanted to harvest some before the temperatures plunge below 20 or so. They can withstand a lot of cold, but not that much.

Dad's knees have been bothering him, so I offered to help.
We spent an enjoyable couple of hours in the bright sunshine, picking mustard and turnip greens and just talking about lots of things.
I brought some home with me, and they'll be a real treat if we're stuck inside this weekend.
My family loves greens, boiled tender and seasoned with bacon grease. That's how Mom cooks them, but I sometimes just give mine a quick saute in some olive oil. Either way, they are tasty!
Isn't this turnip top pretty with that ladybug perched up there?
What a turnip patch...plenty of mustard greens too.
