Cima Di Rapa?
« on: April 15, 2009, 20:38:47 »
Sowed some and the seedlings are coming along ok. Anyone growing it this year? My understanding is that it is quick to grow and will be edible by June-ish? Can this be true?

You can get the quick growing variety, medium growing variety and the slow growing variety. We are all impatient, but guess which is the best tasting??? ???
