These plants - originally kalettes and purple sprouting broccoli - now interbred and self seeded have fed us with this wonderful food daily for several months so far this year and will go on doing so for several more months. We never tire of it. The stalks taste as good as asparagus and the green is very tasty. The early bumblebees, when they emerge, will feast on the flowers that open. So don’t pull up the old plants and they will feed you and the bees and will self seed

@JeniParsons Perennials and self-seeded plants are what the agriculture industry has tried to destroy, because of 'can't make profits every year'. One of the plants you want to get hold of is Good King Henry. Also, raspberries will take over any area if you want them. And wild strawberries. (I have the latter two in my garden, and I didn't plant any) Avoid any hybrids, as they won't seed true.

@UkeleleEric thanks - we have lots of wild strawberries here and belong to RealSeeds in Pembrokeshire where we can source old varieties of lots things. Enjoy your growing 🌱
