And lovely radishes - I have cooked radishes before (braised) but never really thought about the leaves. I'll try that this year when I get some of my own.Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354350096358468967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-34452363070509960072015-02-02T13:34:36.529-08:002015-02-02T13:34:36.529-08:00Amazing harvests for this time of year!

Sometimes you get a plant that produces shoots below the main head, but the shoots mature before the main head, so again, once the main head is harvested the plant is done producing. So, it's not actually possible to treat it like Calabrese.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-74157753189275653182015-02-02T11:20:49.998-08:002015-02-02T11:20:49.998-08:00Lovely harvests.

Nice Romanesco too. I have only seen it sold like cauliflower - i.e. as one big main head, but I see you have got sideshoots as well from yours. I will try this if I grow Romanesco again, and treat it like Calabrese.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-19620607201134616692015-02-02T10:10:56.632-08:002015-02-02T10:10:56.632-08:00It certainly wasn't very cold around here in J...It certainly wasn't very cold around here in January. I read that the local apple growers are anticipating a poor year because of the lack of chill and I'm sure the local stone fruit growers are in a similar bind.

Soon the reports from NWS will be out, but the daily record reports have indicated many record breaking temperatures for minimum highs meaning the nights didn't get cold. This may have helped the vegetables but is very bad for the so-called low-chill deciduous fruit trees. It looks like another year without Jane Stronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05016381279699618539noreply@blogger.com
