Anything else that could grow over winter?

Then hubby saw a cooking programme which inspired him, so we bought a bag of frozen ones, let them defrost and rubbed off the white skin/shell, and he lightly stir fried them. Delicious, delicate, moist..... I'll be interested in growing my own next year too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29284826.post-9251136213547575342007-10-02T23:51:00.000+01:002007-10-02T23:51:00.000+01:00Oh come on, Gid... have you never tasted the young...Oh come on, Gid... have you never tasted the young pods (whole) steamed and tossed in butter with a few lardons? This is heaven indeed.

I find broad beans absolutely disgusting, but at least they are nitrogen fixers and the greenery will do the soil a bit of good.. that being said, some of the ripe beans can be quite pretty.. dried and varnished I suspect they could even be used for some sort of novelty jewellery..Gidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10981172948111611634noreply@blogger.com
