Very nice sounding and looking goodies here.
For me, the only greens with eggs in any shape or form (any eggs, except ostrich which I would like to try but no place to buy) is LOTS of finely chopped chives or green leaf parsley.
Kind of simple and nothing exotic

If I may...
You seem to have longer growing season (I'm in zone 3-4 way up snowy North) so the pea will do fine. I say that because I cut young shoots to steam and eat, while the the rest of the bush send new shoots elsewhere. But as  it has been already suggested, just grow more plants if you have room
My two cents ..

Fresh chicken drumsticks, wings, ribs in a Crockpot in sticky  honey and garlic sauce

Sauce made directly in Crockpot and stirred well
½ cup soy sauce
½ cup honey
1 tsp garlic powder or 3 cloves fresh garlic – minced

Place desired meat inside the Crockpot, coat meat pieces with sauce.
Set Crockpot on high, check after 3 hours for doneness.
Once cooked (SAVE the sauce!), spread meat pieces on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Set aside.
Preheat oven to 400 F.

For the glaze to use after meats are done:

Cooked sauce from Crockpot and a slurry made with :
1 Tbs potato starch
2 Tbs water

Pour out cooked sauce from a Crockpot into small cooking  pan, set over the heat.
Add in slurry  whisking, and cook until it bubbles, turn off the heat.

Brush hot sauce thickly and generously as you like over the meats.
Place in the oven for 5-6 minutes.
Note:
You don’t have to make the glaze, but that’s something I came up with as an experiment and have been using ever since. I use potato starch because it gives clear shine and doesn’t have to be boiled like flour or other starches.
Depending on meat sizes, you can double the sauce, add more garlic or less.
The more glaze you spread, the stickier the pieces of meat

I see that Incredible Seeds also has them (a bit more money, but many more seeds in the packet.

Locally, T&T Seeds carries Red Mammoth in quantities up to 1 kg.



I don't know HOW I missed the above post (lights on, nobody home!).
While I was searching for seeds, those companies never came up in my search. However, just few minutes ago I clicked on Harvest Heritage seeds (in Manitoba) and placed an order for seeds I was looking for.  Now, it's just waiting... LOL
Thank you!

Thank you! I did look up. Most come up as fodder. I have found one company (in whole Canada that have, and will ship seeds) states not for human consumption, and I don't know why not, hence my asking. And yes, it is somewhat a Depression era vegetable.
My preference is Giant Red Mangel.  Lots of choices in USA but the companies can't ship to Canada.

Thank you too! My interest is renewed from forgotten vegetables long ago while I was a kid. I remember little of it. Again, opinions differ .


Either way, I thank you both.

Very Interesting! Thank you. I would like to know which one (root and green tops)  is for human consumption if anyone knows and had experience eating it. I would appreciate some help, and thank you.
I've been trying to research this vegetable but conflicting information boggles the mind.

Well.... as we can see, there are many, many recipes for what you are asking. However, are you talking about "sweet foods" ? (pies) or... more like "dinner/supper foods"?
I do know (from personal experience) baking blueberry pie simultaneously with chicken pie doesn't work out (blueberry imparting somewhat in a  taste in chicken pie, and weirdly... vice versa)

Me too, 17 years, all one day at a time...I'm grateful for my gainfully employed 23 yr old adult son graduate, who lives with me until he get's his own place, is currently vacuuming the entire house.



LOL. Sound like my son.  Always helpful without being asked.

Wow, that would be tragic.
I never had moldy seeds.  I wash seeds, dry bigger ones in dehydrator, tiny ones air dry for few days, then keep all seeds in used pills/meds vials, stored in metal box.
