Have just swapped some seeds in the Best of 2008 parcel, but can't find any info on them. ::)

Kale Zimbabwewe and Rapa da Orto!!

Anybody heard of these or grown them? :)

I would just go to the garden centre and read the back of one of their seed packs for info.

Kale is fairly straight forward. That other stuff, just googled it and it comes up as beetroot.

QuoteKale Zimbabwewe

Oops! Zimbabwe kale that should be. Very hardy, grow like any other cabbage plant about 2' apart and once plants get above about 9" high just snap off the leaves whenever you need some greens. Superior flavour.
