Note: The Garden Newsletter is an internal newsletter sent to employees of TS Designs on a weekly basis. It’s purpose is to keep the team connected with activity happening in the Company Garden. TS Designs believes in supporting this endeavor as a way to stay connected to the ground and to provide an added benefit to each team member (fresh, organic produce). We’ve posted it to our blog so that you can share in our Company’s adventure in gardening, learn gardening tips and enjoy the great recipes that we share with each other!
We’ve got a ton of greens coming out of the garden at the moment!
Isn’t nice to have such healthy goodness right outside the building?!
But, um, if you’re like me…I don’t actually buy Swiss Chard at the store – so I have no idea what to do with it, even if it is at my fingertips.
Thank goodness for online recipes!

CHANGE UP YOUR SALAD
There’s only so much salad you can eat…well – there’s only so much salad I can eat. I have to admit, it gets tiring after a while. But this recipe sounded really good and we have plenty of red lettuce coming in!
WE HAVE 3 DIFFERENT KINDS OF KALE
Erin told me about a great recipe for Kale and it’s super simple! Add some oil to a pan and add some coriander seeds. Cook the seeds until they start to pop…
(The heat should be medium to medium-high. You don’t want all-out high, because you may burn the seeds and then it won’t be so tasty anymore.)
When the seeds are popping, add a bunch of kale (that you’ve already prepped: washed, dried, chopped to your liking), and put the lid on the pan and turn off the heat. In about 3 mins, give the kale a stir and you’re going to be ready to add it to your plate – and ultimately, your belly!
SEE SOMETHING ODD?
If something is off in the garden, let me know.
- Is it looking a little dry?
- Do we need to spend a little extra time harvesting? Or pulling weeds?
- Does it look like some critter is getting in and feasting on our goodies?
You may be out in the garden for just a few mins to pick some greens for dinner, but if you see something that might take a little extra time to handle…just let me know so that we can nip it in the bud…(no pun intended, or maybe it was).
