Thanks to Alena for helping with the harvest - time left over to do some basil transplanting even. The most perishable item is the cilantro and radish leaves, followed by the spinach and the salad mix. The most robust are the nettle and collards. For best storage, sprinkle the greens with water and place in a plastic bag.
The baby garlic is a hint of what's to come. It's a single clove so handy for chopping. And the leaves can be used like garlic chives.
Kale flower buds are quite sweet and can be cooked like rapini or broccoli. Here is a good article on them with a nice pasta recipe for them at the bottom. The stalks with the flowers are tougher than the younger ones without, so discard the bottom half.
