Broccoli or Cabbage?

[freefolk]

I enclose 2 photos. The first of the "Broccoli Marathon" label attached to the plants I bought from Homebase and planted back in the Spring. The second is of what has emerged, which everyone assures me is a "Savoy" type cabbage? Who's be a gardener. If it is a cabbage, thank you Homebase!

That is a very nice Savoy cabbage!

[freefolk]

Indeed it is! At least we know we can grow them!

It's a cabbage..........................(with apologies to Mr Brian Connolly, at least I'm current as he is on Strictly!!)

Beautiful cabbage.

You're doing better than me. I bought some Marathon seeds that turned into weird, stunted green caulis. Really bitter and totally inedible. Very frustrating after months of loving care.

I am now avoiding some of the "own brands" from some shops, they just don't seem to be as good as the regular ones.

I had some Romanescos as well-established seedlings/plants from my local garden centre - over half of which turned out to be purple-sprouting broccoli.

Actually, one of those did better in my poor soil than the PSB plants that I also bought from them and the genuine Romanescos didn't do well at all

I bought some french bean seeds and they turned out to be nothing.
Or may be slug bait.

I bought some sprout plants from homebase some years ago. Should have known better, they turned out to be caulis
