IÔÇÖll be looking out for those caulks too Jan W. My little cabbages look a bit sad due to all the rain but are starting to heart up so should be ok.┬á
I liked the stems of the silver beet rather than the tops but mum would make a proper white sauce (roux style) for them and sometimes with added cheese or onion. 
I tried the stems and leaves of the beetroot yesterday in a stir fry and they werenÔÇÖt too bad at all.
Went over to my sisters yesterday - she is overseas at the moment so I helped BiL set up seed trays for lettuce, carrots, beets, and radishes and planted his little tomatoes into a planter thing he has and made it into a little hothouse to protect them. BiLÔÇÖs mobility isnÔÇÖt the best and he┬áis quite limited in what he can do physically so he was the ÔÇ£brainsÔÇØ and I was the ÔÇ£brawnÔÇØ┬á
.  At least it got him outside for a while and something a bit different to do.
