“a work of art, this Italian heirloom is almost too beautiful to eat — but it begs to be savored. Each gorgeous head is a sprightly, light green spiral of cone-shaped florets, with a delectably mild flavor and a texture more akin to cauliflower than broccoli.”
from: The Cook’s Garden
Not really new, since it is an heirloom vegetable. Usually, broccoli is not successful in my hot Missouri zone 6 garden. (It bolts at the first sign of summer.) But I will try it and tell you about my success (or lack there of.)
after all, I was successful with Renee’s Garden Pak Choi, Baby, “Green Fortune.”
I try something new every year. Renee has challenged me to grow things that have never been successful in this hot, humid climate. Like nasturtiums, sweet peas and Pak Choi.
I especially like To order, click variety name. To view description and growing information click on “How to Plant & Grow”. The videos give me confidence to try new varieties.
