OHHHHH how funny!!! you mean escargot! (or however you spell it!) I like those too but do not eat my garden snails ..not yet any way but I would if we had real snails not just slugskaranleaf said:The laugh is on me When you said escarole I thought you were talking of the garlic and butter sauted snails I never gave the veggie a thought No it's like the chard I had never tried it yet. And now DH and I both love the chard it will be a regular with us now. I shall give escarole a try , can you grow as a cool weather crop? Like this fall?HiDelight said:awww give escarole another chance! I did not like it years ago and grew to love it ..now it is my favorite green I grow the one that is dark green to a creamy white in the middle it is a lot like a wonderful lettuce with a bite instead of the sharp bitter endive (same thing I guess escarole and endive but I always think of the big leafy green one used in Italian soups that is what I grow)
if you lived closer I could give you some babies I have tons of plants and find the second year (this year) they were even better than the first ..I thought when I left them they would die but they came back stong and full heads ...usually by now they finish but are still growing strong and not a bit of bolting ..my broccoli rabe has bolted however ...I keep cutting it back but it insists on bolting
my husband just informed me we have enough strawberries for dessert tonight
I made an upside down strawberry shortcake to die for ..but am now on a strict diet! wow a few cakes here and there and all of a sudden 10lbs comes out of nowhere ..go figure huh?
Strawberry cake oh my yum
