Tuscan Kale [General]
2011 Apr 7
The Herb & Spice on Bank Street usually, and currently, has a very decent selection of chards, kale and other greens (ex. dandelion). I was just there and they do have black leaf kale/Cavolo Nero as well as green and red - all organic, from the U.S. and 2.29 for a good sized bunch.
Side note: When I had a garden (in downtown Ottawa) I grew black kale along with multi-coloured Swiss chard. I knew the soil wasn't the greatest so got good compost, turned it all deeply, planted the tiny seeds, watered and hoped. Well, it worked. In a word: Superabundance. It was the summer/autumn of beautiful salads. Fantastic lush rows of intense pink, orange and yellow leaves between rows of serious dark.
