Post by: MrsKP on May 21, 2006, 18:11:20
but it's a first for me ........... a whole bowl of the stuff.  yum yum.

and a supplementary question too.  if i've got a heated g/h, can i grow this all year ?? ::)  and if so, why haven't i done it before.   :P

you don't need a heated greenhouse, i grow mine in a cold greenhouse border over the end of winter/early spring, dug it up last week as the hot spell made it bolt :(

and i don't know why you haven't done it before ;D/shades

Great pic Kay Pee! It cannot be said too many times, NOTHING beats the thrill of eating stuff you have grown yourself!

They look fantastic MrsKP!  My Italian mixture is up too, and they are so nutty and tasty - bought ones just seem utterly tasteless and bland in comparison. Well done for a great crop - lots of yummy salads in your house this summer. :) busy_lizzie
