Spring always desperately want green, so we often eat young peas, and beans, and green beans, and spinach, and salad, and lots of herbs. Little pupyrchatye cucumbers already smell really, markets appear young shoots of garlic, will soon grow spring Krapivka and sorrel in the stores will lie shaggy heads of young cabbage, dark green outside and pale green inside.

I await with impatience and anticipation. And while he got us a cute little Kale — Bok Choy, which we highly appreciate and are always ready to eat it. One of the Chinese memories – a big plate of emerald green Bok Choy, a little poached, drenched in the sauces, we were ready to eat each day.
