Good looking easy veg
« on: August 24, 2008, 18:36:51 »
What would you say is an easy to grow but attractive vegetable.
At the moment I am in competitive mode after our show yesterday.
I seem to remember courgettes and standard peppers were quite easy but I want something bigger.

How about Rainbow chard?
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

Jerusalem artichoke are easy to grow and attractice above the ground when they flower, but I wouldn't say the tubers are attractive!
What about globe artichokes?

I like the sound of the Globe Artichoke so will have a look at that and Rainbow Chard.  Davy, you didn't suggest any tasty easy to grow veg but thanks to all for suggestions.  Very soon I will have forgotten all about the show except for the fact that there was a really lovely plant and I can't find out what it is. And, my daughter had borrowed my digital camera - drat!
