    Used in WI cuisine too, eg - https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/curry_pumpkin_14259  and Creole - https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/creole_gumbo_with_33769

    Loads more recipes on the BBC Food website mention it.  Might have to grow some.

    To add on to those @Obelixx has pointed above, here is a recipe for red spinach stir fry: http://www.yummyntasty.com/recipes/cheera-thoran/

    Trying Verbascum Chaixii Album from seed for the first time this year. Tried a few now on a north window ledge to see what happens 🙂

    Vegetables.  Until this year my garden has been flowers, shrubs and trees.  I did have a go at tomatoes last summer they were OK but didn't taste that good so I'm trying a different variety.

    I've gone a bit mad with my plant orders. This list is not exhaustive: Chionanthus virginicus (if it can survive a Wisconsin winter it should manage South Bucks), Pterostyrax hispida, Diervilla sessilifolia, Tetradium daniellii - saw a cracking mature specimen at the Hillier Arboretum and had to have it, Elaeagnus umbellatus, Urginea marginata (sea squills, a bulb) and Cephalanthus 'Magical Moonlight'.

    My Rocambole and Babingtons leek have arrived. 5 bulbils in each packet, looks like they have come out of a fridge.    I will pot them up singly tomorrow.

    Eremurus or foxtail lilies, they look tallish for a mixed border.

    I will be trying a new Helianthus variety, Sunbelievable. Apparently a compact long flowering variety. ☺️🤞
