Green Drache ???
« on: March 14, 2004, 23:16:42 »
Okay, another packet of mystery seeds from a seed trade - green drache.  It says use like a spinach, but I googled, and nothing!  Anyone heard of it?  Any advice??

Good morning DJ. Drache is the German word for dragon, dragon in Dutch is tarragon in English which is a herb. Confused yet?
I never heard of eating tarragon as spinach so it probably isn't what you have. I wonder what it is.

Thanks Gavin, this is the thing when you receive seeds as gifts, sometimes you can't read the handwriting.  Looks interesting and I fancy anything a little unusual....just ask Ava... ;D
