There are not many lettuces, no vegetables, and most of the herbs are sleeping. It is cold and winter time. But I love the faithful plant - radicchio, the queen of winter. It is red and robust. It's there most of the time, and during winter it shows off the gorgeous red ruby colour. Lamb lettuce, which has delicate leaves, is growing slowly. It is a perfect combination of the radicchio because of the contrast - texture and flavours. Together, they make a refreshing winter salad.
A few photos shots in my backyard today:
Radicchio, French Sorrels and Lamb Lettuce
Other mix vegetables that I could make from this patch is a Mesclun Salad; the bitterness of the radicchio, mixed with the subtle taste of lamb lettuce, and sour taste of the French Sorrel, make lovely combinations of the three.

What can I say, It is a Celebration of Winter.
