I have always found that the ones with the red stems/leaf veins grow smaller and do not overwinter as well as other varietie and will post some comparative pictures tommorow.

I`ve got loads to learn so any info you have is welcome as I mainly eat the leaf,well OK the stem gets put into soup,curries etc.but I`m the only one that knows that!

Bright Lights has been my first harvest - took 6 weeks and I have separated stalks from leaves and made a great fritata - spud too. Fantastic. Regrows really well too.
