Last weekend there were no greens for us to buy at the farmers' market because the weather had been so cold. I assumed that meant there would be none for a while because we'd have to wait for the next growing cycle, but that wasn't the case. There were plenty of greens available this past weekend.
It turns out that if you pick greens while they're frozen they turn stringy and slimy, but if you wait for them to thaw without harvesting them, they'll be fine. Last year there were no greens after the long, hard frost in December, but this year the frost didn't last as long so the greens survived.
This is good news. I'll be enjoying the greens in my garden for another while, as well.
