How could I not have realised that? I guess I was tricked by its solidity and size. Mine is nearly two metres tall.) I'll enjoy the beauty of the plants and let some of the seeds self-seed - one of my favorite things.parlancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11175843064324380048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-59446963368034069022012-09-02T17:03:53.766+01:002012-09-02T17:03:53.766+01:00OOh I am so envious of your happy growing veg and ...OOh I am so envious of your happy growing veg and am welcoming the seasonal change.

Yes, I do lift the Cavolo Nero when it's finished. I usually use it all up before it flowers, but it is actually very good-looking if you let it flower. The flowers are certainly edible. You can use the tiny flower-stalks in much the same way as Sprouting Broccoli.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-41380751744462432282012-09-02T07:11:55.174+01:002012-09-02T07:11:55.174+01:00Hi, just found your lovely blog when I was trying ...Hi, just found your lovely blog when I was trying to find out whether cavolo nero is finished when it starts to flower. Do you take yours out after a year? I'm in Australia and it's the first day of Spring and my big tall plants are flowering up and down the stems. Do you know if the flowers are edible before they open? They look a bit like broccolini, but I guess looks can be deceiving.<br /><br />Love your blog. I'll add it to my Google Reader and watch how your garden grows and hope to translate it into action six months later.parlancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11175843064324380048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-1283294227937347672012-09-02T05:30:13.497+01:002012-09-02T05:30:13.497+01:00Everything looks wonderful.

Just nothing else for me to harvest lately, though I could be cutting that basil if I felt well enough to put the effort into make pesto. becky3086https://www.blogger.com/profile/01026872543168452124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-68527996703321662092012-09-01T17:44:42.168+01:002012-09-01T17:44:42.168+01:00Like you we don't grow maincrop for the same r...Like you we don't grow maincrop for the same reason.
