1. Beautiful!

Is that ornamental kale?

Love the purple centers among the green leaves!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Thanks, my dear Ohiogal!

I believe it's ornamental cabbage!

I love the combination of colors so much, and also the curly edges!

2. Kale, Kale....

The Gang's All Here!


Great Pic!

4. Oh, my dear Sherman A1!

You are a great punster/rhymer!

Glad you like my pic! I think people were getting a little tired of the moon photos, and since it probably won't be visible tonight, and I did get this photo today, well, that solves the problem!

Whew!

[Sherman A1]

7. It was great!

Hope you are doing some prints of these to hang on your walls. I have most of my house decorated with my own photos in paper, metal and canvas prints from vacations, about town and about the yard.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. Aw, thanks!

Some of these are on the walls, along with paintings by my mom and daughter, a few photos I've bought and like that.

I am running out of wall space! I've started rotating some of them, but it's like putting my friends in a closet! But I do love the new stuff too.

It's a quandary!

5. Kale?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. A friend of mine told me it's ornamental cabbage.

I wonder if kale is related?

9. Yep they are related, both cruciferous plants.

10. OK, good. Thanks, alfredo!

12. Beans and greens using white beans and kale is one of my favorite dishes.

This looks good. You can cut the amount of hot peppers, add more beans, or use collards. Look for younger greens. Not all cruciferous work. Mustards are too bitter for my tastes.

Red wine vinegar will cut bitterness and sweeten them.

15. It's even better the second day

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. I'm sure! So many things are better later--the seasonings blend.

[Callalily]

11. Ohhhhhhhh, how beautiful! And colorful!

It's still the brown season here, but soon to be followed by the white season! YUK!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. Thanks so much, my dear Callalily!

Our climate is so mild that with rare exceptions, we can have pretty gardens all year. They're a little less brilliant in winter, but there are still flowers here and there.

17. Love this. Now I might pull out

"The little Shop of Horrors" movie and see it again.

18. Thanks, Mira!

Not too shabby for my iPhone, hey?



I love that movie! Our local high school did a production and they were first rate!
