                      I have a packet of Sea Kale seeds to try this year, they will go in next to my Asparagus bed after being raised to a reasonable size in the greenhouse.

                        i grew sea kale last year, but they only got a few inches tall and now seem to have disappeared altogether, so growing to a reasonable size in the greenhouse seems a good idea.

                        In answer to the original question, I also grew oca last year (oxalis tuberosa) and they are tasty and easy to grow - they are cute knobbly little tubers and you can also eat the leaves in salads.
                        Gardening is cheaper than therapy and you get tomatoes

                          I would go for rainbow chard just started growing this a couple of seasons ago and find it a great veg. that lasts from one year to the next
                          it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

                            Cape gooseberry/Phyllis careful, can be a bit of a triffid
                            Never test the depth of the water with both feet

                            The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory....

                            Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

                              Cardoon (Cynara cardunculus) easiest veggie I have ever grow here. It looks like an artichoke, but the flavour is totally different.
