Baby Leeks: I think too many people forget what a spiffing little vegetable these are gently braised or in summer stews and the like. We don't have to wait until they turn into monsters in late autumn, they're great right now.
Harvested the first De Nice courgette (the round ones) today and also a navet noir, a huge black radish / turnip (not sure what it's closest to) grown from seeds I bought in a French supermarket. They're huge - they are the size and shape of a sweet potato but the white flesh is covered by a thick, leathery blue/grey mottled skin. They look like elephants' legs. Nice grated in salad, and I think they will cook like turnip.
The best bit was lifting the garlic, however. They look wonderful; I hope they'll store. Grown from a head which I split up after retrieving it from the floor after a market in Alsace. The fact that they are therefore absolutely free makes it even better!Last edited by Barking Postlethwaite; 06-07-2013, 09:29 PM.
