Harvest Monday-January 16, 2012
So I have found many great gardening blogs and Daphne's Dandelions is one that hosts Harvest Monday. This is a place to share your recent harvests. I have a new batch of Treviso harvested from the garage. Here are some before and after shots of the "forcing". I also harvested Radicchio, Arugula, and Spinach.

All that fresh stuff looks so good this time of year. Where are you located.
ReplyDeleteThe forced young greens (and purples!) look delicious. It's amazing how refreshing fresh harvested greens can be during the dark days of winter.
ReplyDeleteYour greens look great. It's been so cold where we live that we haven't even been able to pull many greens from our cold frames. Feel greatfull for the mild temps!!
ReplyDeleteWhat does the forcing do to the treviso? Colorful and healthy looking greens.
ReplyDeleteThanks all. I'm on the east coast in zone 7. The forcing creates a less bitter and more tender heart. The heart also has a second growth after it is picked. You take off the outer leaves. I have other posts on in if you are interested :)
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy! :)

Beautiful harvest. I've never done any forcing, but it seems like a nice way to get something during the winter.
ReplyDeleteQuite wonderful! Are you using the radicchio mostly for salads, or also cooking with them?
ReplyDeleteMostly we eat it as a salad. Just EVOO, good balsamic, salt and pepper. We did grill the Treviso and it was very similar to belgium endive grilled. Will try a risotto with the Treviso and post results. My mom also made a creamy pasta with radicchio from the grocery store that I may try with the Treviso. My Verona is tasty, but not very big to do all that with it. Perhaps I will mix....now I'm getting hungry :)
