Raab cima di rapa - brocolletto

[miniroots]

Is anyone else growing this one? 
It's apparently like a salad leaf, but with little brocolli-like sprouts




I'm assuming that once you nip out the first sprout then it starts to produce off-shoots?

I've got some but haven't sown it yet. I was going to sow a line straight into the bed. Look forward to answers, meanwhile I'd better do some more homework

I grew some last year and it was like sprouting broccoli if I remember rightly...?

[miniroots]

But much quicker cropping?  Did you nip the tops to encourage side growth, or just let it grow straight... and how tall did it get?

I've got some - in a packet too - will be interested to know more...

Yes, cropped in the same year.  I didn't do anything with it, other than let it grow!  It was all a bit experimental last year so I just chucked it into a trough (didn't have my plot then) and let it grow.  I think it was about 1 - 1.5 foot high...  But  maybe in proper ground, ie not a pot, it might grow bigger.  Was nice though, will be doing it again if I ever get round to sowing it!

It came as a freebee with a magazine last year. It was ready when I returned from holiday in late July. So was a hundredweight of other stuff, including courgettes, that end to end would have stretched round the plot, so I composted it!

Raab grows quickly and looks like PSB, it will not grow in the cold though like PSB does. I love it... we always called it Wok Broc. XX Jeannine
