Hey guys, and welcome back to Ridin Out the Recession.
You know we’d mentioned earlier about taking our black-eyed peas up and letting the cows eat them. Those peas did really well for us and gave us a good amount to can and put up.
In their place we planted three rows of mustard greens. We planted seeds, 2-3 per hill about 9-12 inches apart. They’re planted in 100’ rows, set apart 4 feet. We’ve given them plenty of room and we’re hoping these do really well for us too.
Deb doesn’t like them cooked (???), but likes them in a salad or juiced. Me, I like em any way you want to serve em! My Mom, Dad, and most all of our family love them. When they’re coming in, there isn’t many times you can’t find a pot of greens simmering on a burner around our family.
Our first video shows Red and Dale setting out seeds in our last row. We’d just laid out the rows, trenched out the rows, and had planted the first two rows. We were basically winding it up.
We still have a couple good picking with the peas we have left, the crowders mainly, and our purple hulls, and cream 40’s will be cow feed come Monday or Tuesday. We’ll strip them of what peas are left, and that’ll wind them up for this year. Once again though, our peas did well for us. We’re thankful of this!
Here’s the video…
You could see from the video the peas are winding up, by the condition of the bushes. Most are now beginning to lay down, BUT…the okra is another story. It’s fixing to “hit its stride” in regards to what it’s turning out for us. This stuff you can pick every couple days, and once in a while, every day.

‘Ridin Out The Recession With Dub and Deb in “Miz Judi’s Kitchen’!
Note to Readers: There are a few things that Dub doesn’t know but one thing he does know is that the word ‘Riding’ (as in Riding Out the Recession) is spelled with a ‘g’ at the end. But Dub not only walks the walk, but speaks like he is: down home, true blue, and plain speakin’ country folk.
Dub and Deb are both native Floridians, live in Central Florida, and run a small business as well. They have five children, and seven grandchildren.
Both love to cook, love to laugh, grow a garden, and generally try to “aggravate” most anyone around them basically…all in good fun, of course!
