Anticiplate — Thanks! I might consider adding a little ground cardamom to the honey/butter mixture next time…

This looks fantastic. I put some rutabaga in an Irish Beef Stew that I made the other day. It is amazing how much more flavorful root vegetables are than potatoes in stew!!!! These honey roasted rutabaga look delightful!

Over the winter I grew lacinto kale, collard greens, and spinach. The kale did wonderfully, though the collard leaves hovered around 3 inches, then bolted in the last week of february… I think it was probably not a great idea to grow them through the *dead* of winter, even if it is California. The two types of butter lettuce I grew over the winter did very well though. Live and learn.

Yummmy! Sweet Potato and Rutabega Pie: that particular savory/sweet combo sounds heavenly. I hope you’ll post or let me know the results.

On growing root vegetables. For some reason, with the single exception of baby turnips(yum!!), I just don’t have success. I’m not sure if it’s due to soil preparation, sun-exposure, watering, or other technical difficulties. I try every year, but end up buying the lion’s share of carrots and beets at the farmers’ market. Which is certainly okay too.

What cooking greens do you grow?

Deborah – I’ve yet to grow any root vegetables in my tiny garden. So far I’ve grown lettuce, peas, broccoli, and cooking greens. This summer I’m growing nightshades, cucumbers, and melons. Perhaps come fall I’ll venture into roots and tubers :)

On a different note, this evening I was considering other ways to prepare rutabaga, and got to thinking that something like a sweet potato & rutabaga pie might be tasty… a little sweet, a little savory — could be a nice combination.
