We have to come earlier in the evening for our garden tidying, but the low sunlight makes everything look beautiful.
|
An evening glow in the garden. |
Yes, the Jerusalem Artichokes did flower!
|
Heliathus tuberosus |
|
Seen in close-up it is obvious that they are a species of sunflower. |
|
The Asturian Tree Cabbages are growing well. Their pale green leaves look good and do not seem to attract pigeons.
|
Pick one leaf at a time from this unusual Spanish cabbage. |
|
Another colourful leafy vegetable is our chicory. The leaves can be bitter, but become mellow in the colder weather.
|
Italian chicory or Radicchio |
The radishes have almost finished flowering, and are producing succulent crunchy green pods, a tasty addition to any salad.
|
Radish pods can be eaten even if the radish roots are disappointing. |
