Re: Exotic Veggies

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html




I usually grow broccoli rabe, but not as part of a mesclun mix.  It is 
a great vegetable, but when mature should be cooked (I boil it, drain 
it, cook pasta in the water used to boil it.  Chop it up some and 
saute it in a pan with some olive oil & garlic.  Put it on the pasta 
with a good grated cheese.)  Anyway, there are several varieties of 
broccoli rabe (Cima di rape).  There is a very early maturing one (40 
or so days) along with some that take 50-60 days.  It likes cool 
weather so grow it in the spring or fall.  I have had ok success in 
transplanting it, but it seems to prefer direct seeding.  Does well in 
a fertile well drained soil (but then what does not).  Enjoy it.  
Italians really know their vegetables.

Bill McKay in E. Mass(where the broccoli rabe in my unheated hoop 
house will be ready to cut the end of the week).

>My first time to interact with "any" list so excuse the poor 
netiquette (appreciate the "better communication tips" from 
experienced list members). Re: exotic vegetables such as mizuna, 
tatzoi & broccoli raab... I am preparing to order three varieties of 
mesclune from www.richters.com. and I know they have mizuna and raab. 
 Has anyone had any experience with them? I believe they are in Canada 
so I hope they ship to the U.S. Saw that Shepherd's was mentioned in 
an earlier message. Do they have a website? Appreciate the follow-up I 
anticipate.
