I love plants that so readily volunteer like they do.<br /><br />Most people do not like red mustard as it can be a little to "flavorful". I'm glad to hear that we are not alone in adorning our salad with such a wonderful plant. <br /><br />MikeMr. H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04576034751522467377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7636358068441886242.post-29865364418589150682009-06-15T15:06:25.112-07:002009-06-15T15:06:25.112-07:00Do you raise red mustard lettuce?

Sauteed with garlic and tomatoes sounds good, I will try that this summer once our tomatoes are ready.<br /><br />Have a great dayMr. H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04576034751522467377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7636358068441886242.post-9516095948718627562009-06-14T18:41:49.043-07:002009-06-14T18:41:49.043-07:00Thanks for that tip on how to preserve kale.

We love it sauteed with garlic and tomatoes and also roasted with sweet potatoes. So good! :) Silke<br /><br />P.S. great tip about using the straw to create a vacuum...Silke Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17094855019089665976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7636358068441886242.post-26006203027536675042009-06-14T18:40:25.281-07:002009-06-14T18:40:25.281-07:00Stefaneener,
