I love collards, kale, and a mixture of both. In the pot with some chicken or vegetable broth – that is simply good eating tome. However, as an African-American woman, garden writer, and spender of ridiculous amounts of money on all things horticultural, I am having a hard time finding a representation of me amidst the perennials and annuals. What’s up with that?
So I thought I would share an article I wrote on Medium.
Enjoy and add some candied sweets (yams) on my plate with those collards!!
