Ornamental Brassicas And A Wedding - Help!!
« on: January 22, 2014, 08:18 »
Hi all,

A friend would love to use ornamental cabbage and kale among her wedding flowers, and very pretty I think they'd look, too.  The problem is, it's in July, whereas these brassicas, as far as I know, are all late-autumn/winter produce.

Please can anyone suggest anything I could grow on the plot to create a similar effect by the summer?

BTW, I've posted this in the 'Grow Your Own' section as I'm assuming the possibilities will be edible!

Thanks, folks!

Pim.
