Harvesting calabrese

[lainey lou]

Mornin' folks
my lovely calabrese is almost ready for harvesting, if i just cut off the edible bit and leave the rest of the plant in the ground will it grow more like PSB? Probs a daft question but never grown it before!

Yup, you got it. A couple of weeks and you should start to see sprouts.

Wow that was quick Shirl! What a super thing this vine is! Thank you.

LOL, I am just sad - sat here chatting via msn to my hubby Madmax so was right on hand to see your query.

Calabrese are not hardy, though, so urge them on!

[lainey lou]

Really? Oh-er better get eating then!

probs gonna have to freeze some actually in that case as i have rather a lot, does it need blanching before freezing?

I'm under the impression that most veg should be blanched before freezing, so I would blanche it, if I had any!
