Excellent with lentils and carrots in the pot, too. :D

You're on the list for next year!

Saute some shallots, smoked bacon and garlic in olive oil.  Add shredded cavolo nero.  You don't know what you are missing. :blink:
Cheese makes everything better.

Phew! Not too funny. But almost. Gabi.

What's your point, if any?

Apols Gabi, just liked what you said!

Always after a recipe with lentils, we bought a huge bag some time ago and they're still hanging around!

OK then, I wasn't certain how to take it, what you meant. As further up I'm also trying to grow some lentils this year, hopefully.

I shall report if it happens. :)

When I first got my plot, I often wondered how to fit round the crop rotation idea too ... I was a bit of a fussy eater and didn't like cabbage, caulis, sprouts, and I wasn't too fussed about broccoli, radish, turnips or swede, and never tasted kale.  As long as you dig in stuff to improve soil fertility, it didn't really matter.

However, over time I would grew just a few to see if I could, and then realised what I had been missing out on (but I still don't like cauliflower or kale) although the small amount I grow probably doesn't cover a true crop rotation.  However, I have been growing a mustard green manure especially prior to planting potatoes so put that in my crop rotation plan  :D
