Most of my perennial and biannual kales spend the winter planted in earth in wooden boxes in my cool cellar. They put on new growth at this time of year and as it’s dark they are blanched…very tasty in winter salads….

Onion in escape attempt drama
Sometimes a letter addressed to me at 418 Malvikveien, gets delivered to my closest gardening neighbour Line Cathrin Ekseth at no. 481 ;-) This happened last week and I didn’t get round to collecting it before last night….and one of the onions was attempting to escape…..I was just in time :) Thanks Alan Carter, another chive cultivar for my reference collection, “Black Isle Blush” and it’s a real beauty, see here
