I spent plenty of time early this morning, and most of the afternoon, picking, cleaning and packing up greens for the remainder of this year. The five 2.5 gallon zip lock bags pictured below are four Glaze Gen Collard Greens, and one of mustard greens. Add these to the half dozen or so bags already in the freezer, and we are covered with greens from now and throughout the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays. Since there is only my husband and me here, the greens should last because I only cook about a three-quart size sauce pan worth, or what would equal a 27 ounce can of store bought greens.
Now that the two hydroponic tower systems are free and clean, they are ready for a whole new variety of vegetables. However, I will include some turnip greens as well, because we like them mixed with mustard greens and sliced turnip bulbs.

I also picked the last of the Parris Island Romaine Lettuce and after cleaning the three countertop pod-boxes, I seeded more of them in one box. The broad leaf chive and scallions in the middle box are coming along slowly and will probably be months before they mature, and at this point I am undecided on what to grow in the third box. They are limp because I removed them from the pod box so that it could be cleaned. However, they straighten up in time time.
I am completely done with cucumbers and Roma tomatoes. I have no luck with them at all, so I will not waste any more resources on trying to grow them.
