picking kale and most of the plants had very large leaves that needed to be harvested right away.<\/p>\n<p>I am pretty much done with my summer plants and again the last thing that is out there is the last watermelon that I need to pick.\u00a0 I will be picking it before the weekend so make sure to check back and find out when I finally harvest this last melon.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>This year my kale is growing quite fast and probably with the rain this past weekend that definitely helped it quite a bit.\u00a0 I picked a total of 37 leaves which doesn&#8217;t sound like much, but these were very large leaves which is perfect for kale soup.\u00a0 This is the best meal that I can make out of them and is great for those cold winter months.<\/p>\n<p><a
