05.13.20 Spinach and a Duck Deficiency

There is a well known permaculture truism that goes something like this. You don’t have a snail problem, you have a duck deficiency. Well, that about explains the situation with my spinach plant. I don’t have plans to raise ducks anytime soon so I went ahead and harvested all of the spinach I could. Surprise! Then I made a salad adding in the usual suspects. From the garden; curly leaf kale, lacinato kale, arugula, asuka mustard, radish and orange cherry tomatoes. From the kitchen; carrot, radicchio, hemp seeds, watermelon seeds, olives, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, cumin and salt.
