Have you grown 'spring green' in the past then?   I have been trying to find a tasty non-hearting brassica for some time now.   

Joy Larkcom says to "grow the above if you can find it" ... which I just have but like you I only get the seeds this year !!

I've never seen it in the flesh, but I like unusual veg, and as we don't eat much cabbage, the idea of one which allows you to pick the odd few leaves rather than a complete heart is attractive.
