Your question is right on, though, as it dawned on me today as I looked at bolting kale plants that perhaps I should reverse my thinking about them. They might be better as a winter green rather than a summer one.<br /><br />I&#39;d love to hear more about vegetables in North India!Joan Lambert Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115423496781398997[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670240581789114113.post-25973728248026743502010-05-05T12:19:19.804+09:002010-05-05T12:19:19.804+09:00Interesting post.

The shishigatani is pretty funky looking! One thing I enjoyed about living in India was experimenting with the unfamiliar fruits and vegetables; I was mostly eating them, though. I wasn&#39;t able to grow more than houseplants, unfortunately. Is squash season the same there? (I&#39;m thinking of this b/c in India, fresh pea season is basically January in north India because that&#39;s when it&#39;s cool enough for them to grow. Same with apples.)Sue Dickmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964270562532579030[email protected]
