Belgian endive<\/a> is the prime example of forcing. The roots of Belgian endive<\/a> are placed in buckets and the foliage grows under the influence of heat, but the leaves remain white due to a lack of light. The roots of salsify<\/a> and dandelion can also be potted in a dark shed or cellar. The pale leaves that grow from the roots of the dandelion are a tasty vegetable in salads. The young dandelion leaf used to be widely eaten and is called mole<\/a> lettuce<\/a>. Salsify and the few non-weeded dandelions can also simply be left in the vegetable garden; cover them under a thick layer of straw. In the spring the leaves will start to grow and the pale leaves can be harvested. By covering Good-King-Henry (a forgotten vegetable) with black plastic or a bleach jar, the yellow or pink leaves are created.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
