So I was conversing with the photographer who will be taking photos at our first class of the year (Soil Testing/All About Winter Cabbage) this Friday, February 20, from 11:00am to 1:00pm at Haliburton Communiy Organic Farm (www.haliburtonfarm.org) and thought the latter part of the conversation deserved wider distribution. So here it is:
So after having completed the general gardening topic of Soil Testing we will enter the All About Cabbage protion of the class where we'll demonstrate seeding cabbage and have a look at the (full to brimming) germination cabinet and the (cool and empty) outdoor greenhouse and raised bed area where the cabbages along with other seedlings will be transferred to harden off and then planted once things warm up a bit.
There isn't much growing in our new raised beds but Ray's garden has an area of winter veggies enclosed to protect them from the brassica loving and always entertaining waddlers. He has very kindly saved some winter cabbages for us to harvest and cook with our students. We'll be preparing and serving a curried cabbage salad, an earthy cabbage soup, and a contemporary version of the ubiquitous cabbage roll using local bison in a range of yummy somethings for veggies, locovores, and flexitarians alike. Fresh herb infused bread will come steaming hot straight from our oven to complete the hearty lunch.
