The varietys I used this year were Is. Wight Solent (white) and purple from Dobbies. The purple gave the best results but is a hard neck so apparently doesn't keep as well.

So you know how great Salsify is as a veg, what about Cavero Nero,great leaves all through the winter , then in Spring sprouting broccolli like flowers! Takes up half as much room as broccolli

I don't know what variety the runaways were. They were the smallest cloves from one of the organic garlics we had delivered in the veg box.

Still haven't found them. its a complete mystery!!
