Growing for beauty: what's your favorite savoyed vegetables
Comments (2)Cavelo nero 'palm tree de toscana'. Really do look like a palm tree... the 'trunks' on mine got to about five feet Very dark green/blue heavily savoyed leaves. Can be cooked for a long time; I stew it with olive oil and garlic....See MoreWhat are your favorite varieties of vegetables to grow?
Comments (1)I'm currently growing cherry tomato (Gardener's Delight), dwarf tomato (Adelaide Festival), Early Jalapeno, Sylvetta arugula, and salad greens. I wish I could grow more, but city-living with limited outdoor and window space. I hope to grow kale once autumn comes....See MoreWhat are your favorite roasted vegetables?
Comments (27)Roasted Italian red peppers with garlic and olive oil is my favorite salad that can also be served as a light lunch with good rustic-style bread. I use Marconi pepper variety as it is most commonly available. In winter I love to combine several kinds of small-sized beets of different colors and taste (usually chiogga, golden, baby red, and white beets). Just trimmed and washed, seasoned with salt and pepper, and then roast them with a little olive oil. Both are simple and delicious. Ever since I tried Ina Garten's (Barefoot Contessa) Tuscan Roasted Potatoes & Lemon, it became my favorite way to roast potatoes though I usually omit lemon and sometimes replace rosemary with Italian parsley....See MoreWhat vegetable do you grow that consistently is your favorite?
Comments (24)For sweet peppers we've grown lunchbox for years ... we grow them in pots and bring them inside come frost/freeze (there's usually a few trips in and out for early cold, sometimes they can just go to the porch and be covered for those), and then they live out the winter in the house, and if they make it through producing well, then back out they go in the spring. They're tasty and thin-walled (but that works well in a little pepper). 'Yummy' and 'Tweety' were some other ones we really liked. I don't know why we stopped growing 'Tweety'; we might have decided we didn't like the shape much (rounder) or it might have been an availability thing. I got 'Yum-yum' seeds for this year, which I'm hoping are pretty much the same as 'Yummy.' I've had generally good results from Antohi sweet frying pepper plants, too ... except last year's poor plant that got broken by an attacking tomato plant and succumbed to its injuries. Antohi is nice because it's a little bigger than the lunchboxes, but still not hot but flavorful and thin-walled. For tomatoes, we've got pretty much a new lineup for this year, so we'll see on those, but 'Sunpeach' and 'Striped/Speckled Roman" are getting to repeat. We've tried a number of different cherry/grape/pear tomatoes, and they're often different, so getting to repeat is high marks for 'Sunpeach;' it's lower acid, thin-skinned, well flavored, and a nice eating side. 'Striped Roman' (sometimes called 'Speckled Roman') is a paste, and it's been repeated a couple years now and is on the list again for this year; San Marzano did well before for us, too, and might come back too (if we can figure out a spot for one). 'Sunpeach' is from seed; 'Striped Roman' we usually buy as a plant, but I'm sure seeds are available somewhere. Lettuce I've taken to growing in my Aerogarden ... it's easy to grab and doesn't have temperature concerns (I'm bad about keeping it fed on time, so one can still have great results even if not perfect at noticing the two week feeding reminder light. Just make sure it doesn't go dry.)...See More- 7 years ago
