Title: Plant ID again...kale or broccoli?
Post by: Hector on April 02, 2016, 16:41:35
This is in an old bed I've just reclaimed...found ten of them...must be quite hardy as has had to compete with weeds

I am beyond delighted :) It survived the bed where stray livestock got in and trampled...then over a year of neglect and weeds. Hardy wee thing. It will get looked after now.

Thanks all :)

Nominally biennial - but if it hasn't done its thing last year because it was totally crowded, then maybe it is coming into its own this year.  Alternatively was there some in the past which could have possibly seeded unnoticed?
