Re: Forest gardening question
We've grown it, on and off for years. Love it. The leaves are tasty as well as the florets. It doesn't do desperately well up here though. I think the winters are too hard for it.

I don't think those huge leaves would appreciate the winds we get here, so I have a vacant spot by the side of my small greenhouse which would be sheltered from most directions.

Re: Forest gardening question
Yes, it's the wind here that gives them problems surviving the winter. It's rarely very cold or snowy.
