Yeah when I buy greens I try to buy them as "unprocessed" as possible - the full heads of lettuce under the crisper sprays instead of anything in a bag or plastic container. I also don't wash my produce (organic). I live on the edge.
Austin I love your kale pictures!! I have some red kale sprouted inside already (gonna snow this weekend or else I'd start putting stuff out!). Someone told me though that here, with how dry it is, it's a battle with the white flies that really like the folds of the kale. STILL GONNA TRY! Got peas in the ground now, some carrots, and onions. Gonna start lettuce after this next snow. The only bad thing about living at 7,000ft is being in zone 5A. Also I need to do something to discourage all the cats who think my freshly turned up garden boxes are giant litter boxes.
