Re: Greetings
Thank you! I've never had endive in a cooked dish - must see if I can get something that's suitable...
In northern Germany, where I come from, curly kale is traditionally served with some kind of smoked sausage, too (or cooked with fatty, cured pork). But they cook it separately from the potatoes. I use chopped chorizo here instead - I think that comes pretty close to the original taste.

Re: Greetings
I've actually never seen a black radish before. I will have to try it. Hopefully the local garden center has some seeds.
@doofaloofa: That's easy! You must be talking about the best cheese in the world. The cheese which used to be colored with the juice of poppy flowers.
I was actually born in Edam, so would have been a shame if I hadn't known the answer

But I didn't know about the colouring with poppies. You always learn something new! (How on earth did they do that? Did they actually colour the entire cheese - like the red cheddar or Leicester - or just the rind?)

Re: Greetings
I'm not sure to be honoust. I suspect they coloured the cheese and as they stopped doing it, they kept a red rind to have it keep its typical colour. But this is only a guess!

Re: Greetings
Hoi uit het wonderschone Rotterdam (greetings from the wonderful city of Rotterdam)
I am envious of the amount of space you have. I only have a balcony to grow on at the moment and although it is a nice size, it comes no where near your 800m2. Lovely to meet other people from our small country here on the forum. Hope you have a good time here and find lots of things that will interest you
Greets,
Roos

Re: Greetings
Hi Roos, that's the big advantage of living in the countryside. The average garden size in Friesland is a lot different from the ones in Rotterdam ;). Do you manage to grow stuff on your balcony, or behind the windows?

Re: Greetings
I start them off behind the windows and when the weather is good I harden them of and keep them on the balcony. I haven't had much luck these last few years (mainly due to poor maintenance) but I've got a feeling this will be my lucky year.

Re: Greetings
My main focus is tomato's, paprika, peas, beans, potato's, strawberries and herbs. I don't grow a lot of them, just as many as I can fit.
