Since we added more dirt around the plant, it seems to be giving it a chance to return. We planted around 10 of them but only 1 made it. They hung in there for a few months but just started to wilt, probably due to lack of good soil media. But this one is quite happy and it has new growth on it. Hopefully by adding more dirt next time they will do better and now struggle so much to get going. Honestly I want these plants to die back, so I can add lots of dirt. The settling that occured made the soil drop by around a foot with all the voids in the hugelculture getting filled in. So when winter comes around I plan on adding enough dirt to top off the beds.
These greens will be quite tasty when we harvest, but since the plant is small right now I will wait until the last moment to harvest. Probably some time when the frost comes around it will probably be time to cut them back to the ground and do something tasty with the leaves.
A short update for this little plant this season, hopefully next year I will have more to show off.
