Haha, as an ex-brassica scientist, I approve of this comic.

New episode out now! It was time to start thinking about winter--as much as I didn't want to. At least, it meant more planting. I turned the former potato beds into brassica beds for winter and planted kale, cauliflower, and broccoli there.

#PakChoi #plants in 3 gallon pots.
“Pak Choi” translates to “white vegetable” in Cantonese due to their white stems. Cultivation began in the #YangtzeRiver Delta region & spread to other parts of Asia, thanks to traders & migrating populations.
Pak choi looks almost identical to bok choy but they're two different plants. Pak choi has darker leaves as it matures. Pak choi stems are white, more visibly so when matured. Bok choy stems are pale green. Pak choi has more of a peppery undertone taste, while bok choy has subtle sweetness. We grow both of these similar plants in our backyard food gardens.
I have 3 blueberry plants & only one has produced berries so far.
First royal burgundy #PurpleBeans
First #broccoli head
First #Jalapeno #peppers
Anyone cook asian brassicas in western recipes or using western techniques? things like bok choy or gai lan. Curious if there are any unexpected wins
¡It is (inter)national cabbage day!
I am sowing some now to celebrate and make more #treefrog obstacle courses.
The Cavolo Nero kale is the last thing standing in the veg plot from
last year. I should probably just eat it but it’s so handsome I feel bad about harvesting it.

Dropsafe(2019) From Culinary Dud To Stud: How Dutch Plant Breeders Built Our Brussels Sprouts Boom | The Salt | NPRI remember most of the brassicas of my youth with abject horror, especially my grandmother’s approach to boiling bitter, coarsely-sliced cabbage until it was practically white and then platin…
"In this work, we show that intercellular air channels limit light transmittance through various organs in several species. Air channels enhance light scattering in #Arabidopsis hypocotyls, thereby steepening the light gradient. This is required for an efficient #phototropic response in Arabidopsis and #Brassica. We identified an embryonically expressed ABC transporter required for the presence of air channels in seedlings and a structure surrounding them"
