April 2, 2013 -- weedlings

I should have thinned the curly kale months ago, but...I just got around to it today. The seedlings--which struck me as weedlings--were crowding each other out, but the ones I removed were still too leafy and pretty to discard. I put them in a bucket planning to wash and eat some of the leaves, but I decided the largest ones were too pretty even to eat; they ended up in this little jar on the windowsill.
