no. many days after first frost, so they have time to develop the
sugars that make them more palatable. same goes for a variety of winter
veggies, including carrots, parsnips, florence fennel, cardoon,
radicchio, kale, collard and cabbage.
They are just much better that way. I don't touch any of these until
Nov. 1. Around here, too, first frost is around Oct. 10, give or take a
week. |
