Here's a good reminder from the Kitchn
Keeping your Greens fresh
2010_05_05-Komatsuna.jpgA little tip from Lauren at VeganYumYum: Resurrect wilted fresh greens by plunking them in a glass of water. We knew that this worked, but this series of images captures it dramatically!

This is super helpful!!! Thank you!! I already keep most of my fresh herbs on the counter in water for the same reason. But I never thought about my greens... I love it!!

The past year I have been using my chard, kale, and lettuce as floral arrangements in the kitchen or on the dining room table. I get a full week enjoyment from them (but you have to change the kale water... it can become stinky)

There is plenty of gozo at Rio Gozo Farm. That is JOY in Spanish and joy is one of the most dependable products we have. Gozo is commonly found in gardens and farms. Once you get a little gozo up and going it is very tolerant of most pests, withstands dry periods, and grows with a modicum of fertilizer. After gozo becomes a staple of one's diet, it goes with about anything. Actually folks crave it so much it is a wonder everyone does not have a patch of it growing close at hand. Grab up some gozo and get with the flow.
