[Madame Cholet]

They germinated easily with no heat and havn't been attacked by slugs pigeons or rape beatle. the plants aren't very big yet so i've only eaten a few leaves raw  a lovely crunch and a light refreshing taste.

[Madame Cholet]

its the Chenopodium family. looks a bit like brocoli. the mexicans fry the flowers. the leaves are sort of oak shaped.
