I am driving along
and MrM is checking the comments on his BlackBerry
(this is what our life is like)
MrM
There is one here from Fairlie and she says:
At the risk of exposing myself
as a vegetable-gardening-ignoramus...
what are the ones in the third pic?
MrsM
I don't know - I think they are kohlrabi.
MrM
Well, you tell Fairlie from me that
an ignoramus is NOT a person
who doesn't know the answer
but a person who doesn't know AND doesn't ask.
so...Fairlie...now you know.

Just look at the length of that asparagus! Dreaming of dinner...
That asparagus looks DIVINE. I am an asparagus slave.
I can only dream of a harvest like that. It looks wonderful...

That asparagus does look delicious!
So now I know!
I'm soooooo glad I'm not an ignoramus.
And now MrM, do you think you could suggest five uses for a kohlrabi?
The asparagus farm down the road has just opened for the season - yum!
And we had the first English strawberries (undoubtedly hothoused, sprayed and otherwise environmentally unsound but delicious!)
Fairlie.
Can I suggest you Google kohlrabi leaves recipes. You should be able to pick five possibles from the one hundred and six thousand entries !
Not too sure that i would fancy any of them myself, but they look quite a challenge don't they?
Add me to the list of asparagus junkies. We have it at least 1-2 times a week.
Right now in Germany, it's Spargel (asparagus) season, too. The Spargel grown here is white, as it is not grown in the sun. It is tender and so amazingly tasty.
Tonight we will be going out for Spargel soup!
Lovely photos, by the way...
I love the photos. Everything looks yummy. It makes me wanting to make a salad! :)
My kids adore artichokes - do they trim those leaves before they bag them?
Hello MrM.
Speaking as a keen gardener, allotment holder and vegetarian (and as an appreciator of fine photography), these photos are making me drool on my keyboard. Not pretty.
MrsM is of course my eye candy
MrM would like to point out that one of the advantages of the Blackberry is that he can post his thanks to MrsM for a post midnight pick up from Hatton Cross tube station after he missed the last train from Richmond.
Ooh, a big plate of asparagus, with a blob of butter and a couple of parmesan shavings over the top..yum. I am nurturing my asparagus bed right now, should be prime for picking this time next year, hurray!
Can I just also add that Kohlrabi is easypeasy to grow (and very tasty grated into salads)
