Broccoli Raab or Rapini

[veg4681]

I think they may also go by the name of Turnip Greens? Has anybody tried growing this successfully? Do they taste close to PSB or even the Annual Summer Sprouting?

Seeds of Italy offer the 30 days, 60 days and 90 days variety (also Real Seeds) but any idea which one would be the best bet? I'm thinking of the 60 days variety, short enough growing period for decent tasting leaves. Most likely I will grow them next year as I already have enough leafy veg seeds and besides it's too expensive to make yet another seeds order .

Hi Veg

I grew these last winter (from Real Seed Company) and I wasn't really impressed. They were rather leggy plants that fell over into the mud and looked thin and unattractive. I confess that I just grubbed them up and composted them!
