Topic: orach
Today I harvested a huge double purple orach. Most of the plants are less than 8 inches tall, but this one was four feet! It wasn't bolting, either. It's normally used as a salad green, but because most of the leaves were so huge I sauteed it with a little bit of butter. Cooking made it even more purple. Mild and delicious and a gorgeous presentation! I will definitely grow this again.
I bought the seed from from Container Seeds.
Also I harvested a head of Munchkin Broccoli. True to its name, it was a small head, but a friend told me to expect side shoots to grow up with more heads.
