Will sorrel grow here?
Comments (5)boil baking potatoes and an onion in good stock. Add spices and salt to taste (I like a little chili and salt). When cooked, blend the soup with one or two handfuls of sorrel leaves, stems removed. serve immediately. the secret is to blend instantly when leaves and soup are in the blender. then the soup will stay a bright green. if you wait, it will turn grey. Baking potatoes are much easier on your blender than waxy. Sorrel soup with waxy destroyed our previous blender. I also add tallow or olive oil to the soup when serving. This is served in April and for Thanksgiving here....See MoreAnyone grow Sorrel?
Comments (5)Thanks Flora uk. I've got it growing in a large container because I heard it can take over the garden. Once it flowers does it go bitter? Should I collect the seeds and resow for a younger plant or just continue to harvest the leaves after flowering? The seeds were a pain to germinate so I would rather continue harvesting from the plants I've got. Albert, I ordered the seeds over the summer but it came with no info about the plant or how to grow it. I did find a couple websites that had basic info like what season to grow it in and that it requires sun but I needed a little more specific info....See MoreGrowing Sorrel in the veggie garden in New Orleans
Comments (1)Hi, just a quick follow up, after a little more online research it seems I should thin the seedlings to 6-12 inches apart, so I'm going to try thinning. If anyone has any other experience with this crop, let me know, thanks....See MoreDo you grow edible ornamentals?
Comments (10)Xanthasoma - an elephant ear whose young unfurled leaves are used to make callaloo, a Jamaican dish. Are you sure about that? Callaloo that I've had is made with amaranth and that's what the Jamaicans call the plant, too. There are red and green varieties. Silvia, isn't the one you grew and couldn't find enough people who knew what to do with it a kind of amaranth? ETA Maybe trinidadian callaloo is made with the elephant ear leaves? They say that elderberry is as a good as tamiflu. For people not familiar with chaya, it needs to boiled to get rid of cyanins before you eat it, but for sure nothing else has as much butterfly/bee appeal....See Moreruth_mi
