Good King Henry (Blitum bonus-henricus) |
Have Salad Greens Crop |
g 2020 @Phytocraft from NFTSRSS#6 Perennial medieval salad green. Requires cold stratification. Low productivity first year. Some of the new shoots can be thinned out as they appear (usually from mid spring to early summer) and cooked like asparagus. All cutting should then cease to allow shoots to develop. The succulent triangular leaves may be harvested a few at a time until the end of August and cooked like spinach. |

Caucasian Spinach (Hablitzia tamnoides) |
Want Salad Greens Crop |
g 2020 @janinilulu from NFTSRSS#6. Caucasian spinach is a long-lived herbaceous perennial climbing vine. Leaves can be eaten raw in salads or cooked. The young ones in particular are delicious, but even the older ones make for good eating - they do not develop any real bitterness once mature. Although the older leaves of plants grown in full sun, particularly if they have suffered drought stress, are generally better cooked. As well as the leaves, the young shoots, the tender vine tips and the emerging inflorescence can be used as a vegetable, again raw or cooked. The shoots, can be picked as they start into active growth, but they are particularly good when harvested from the crown, while still dormant/semi-dormant, as at this stage the undeveloped leaves are still tightly packed and folded upwards, so that they press close against the stem, adding up to a slightly more substantial vegetable, a bit like Asparagus. What's more, early in the season they are often the most remarkable magenta color. They can also be blanched a few weeks prior to harvesting, which may make them a little sweeter, but this is not by any means necessary to enjoy them, as whenever you pick them, they are delicious, even simply sauteed in butter, and dressed with a little lemon juice and salt and/or black pepper. |
