Ok, we didn't eat the actual picture. But we did eat the plants that are featured in the banner photo above. The name of the plants? Rapini. As you can see from the photo, the plants are super close because I threw a ton of seeds in the pot and they all seem to have germinated. I already pulled out a ton of the seedlings. But at a certain point, I stopped pulling them out and said "let's see what happens."
What happened is that the plants have been growing amazingly well even though they are literally climbing all over each other. I did some serious thinning today, to try to make some room for the remaining plants to grow more leaves and flower.
We ate the thinned rapini for dinner tonight, after cooking them in a thin layer of salted water and sprinking them with a touch of olive oil before serving.
molto saporito!!!
I also transplanted some baby rapini plants into bigger pots, so that the harvest continues beyond the first pot.
