Summer Greens

While not necessarily staple crops, greens are an important source of essential nutrients. They are handy for quick healthy dishes during the busy summer growing season - as we are documenting, it takes quite a few calories to raise staple crops, so good nutrition is important! Typically crops grown for leafy greens do not tolerate heat well but these varieties, many with a tropical origin, are an easy way to diversify your leafy summer harvest.
