Last summer my garden had some really good things going on and some not so good. My beets didn't do well, only picked enough for one meal for the 2 of us. I bought some beets at a farm market, cooked and froze them for this winters use. Then I tried something that I hadn't done before. The beets that I bought still had the greens attached but they were wilted badly. I filled the sink with cold water and I let the tops soak over night. The next morning the greens looked good so I sorted out the bad ones, blanched and froze the good ones. I had never frozen greens before so I didn't know what to expect. Well, Elaine and I have been enjoying greens all winter. They aren't quite garden fresh but I do have to say that they are close. At any rate, they are pretty darn good. This year I will have to grow more greens like beets and swiss chard and freeze more. Winter is long and those greens go good with almost anything. Shhhh.... even had some greens on pizza.Shhhh........
