Glad to see you join in too, DC. Last I heard, Dan seemed to be kind of

What I've seen has been about 5 or 6 inches long, stem plus leaf. But as
you say, mostly leaf, stem not really a 'separate' vegetable the way it is
with bok choy.

Yes, I remember that sad tale! I'll have to take some pictures of the
"gonzo" pea tendrils I get from the Hmong farmers, and figure some way to
post them so I can give a link. Or maybe just email to anyone interested.
