Morning harvest! Why harvest in the morning? Veggies have an internal clock; they grow and respond to a 24-hr cycle of circadian rhythms. Throughout the night, plants replenish their energy stores and rebuild nutrients. So, harvesting leafy greens in the early morning - after dew has evaporated and before the day’s heat sets in - means you are getting peak nutrients and the crispest, sweetest greens. In the morning, the plant’s cells are full of water, which also helps extend shelf life. But one of the greatest joys of growing your own food is that you can harvest just what you need for the next meal and enjoy the flavor of super freshness!
This harvest is a medley of tender baby greens: red and green sorrel, little gem romaine, red and green salanova, oak leaf lettuce, and edible nasturtium flowers.
