Not much, it's summer here. I have broccoli/cabbage/brussel/kale leaves I can steam. I grew sorrel and parsley to have some perennial, and they goes in soup. My purple passion asparagus I grew last year from roots are sprouting a lot since April and I can't eat them fast enough. I have Egyptian walking onion all year round.

I'm growing a few summer crops right now, squash, zucchini, okra, Egyptian spinach and malabar spinach. Also yacon, which I'm looking forward to harvest end of year. All tomatoes are dead from diseases so my tomato season is over, but I'm taking my chance to grow some Sungold and Ambrosia to get my fix until next year.

I like the idea of having more perennial-ish plants so I don't have to do much work during summer which is too humid here. Successfully propagated two purple tree collards but they are still tiny. I'm thinking about growing some walking stick kale now. Where can I get these?
