To cut the stuff, and cook it if it is starting to flower out??

I have a row of it planted, and I've been so damn busy i haven't had a chance to cut any of it to cook, and noticed today it is starting to sprout up into flowers.....

It should still be OK just taste a little strong.  When ours start that we will blanch the greens, change out the water and finish cooking them.  It helps tame the strong flavor and bitterness.  Glad you posted, it reminds me its about time to start prepping my beds for this winters crop.

Wow, you still have them this time of year?  Here it's about 2 weeks away from planting the fall crop.



You might also try just picking the smaller, immature leaves.  They shouldn't be as bitter.

They were planted in the middle of june, as my late summer crop.  Things grow a bit different up here in wv.  Anytime after sept it can snow....

The flowers are edible, stems, leaves too.

As posted, the later leaves get stronger, but, nothing that some bacon grease and garlic can't tame.
