Raab Broccoli

[jackarmy]

So did anyone plant the freeby from GYO mag ?.
I know Dan from Allotment Diary had no joy, how did you lot fare?.
I sowed some about a fortnight ago and potting up now, just wondering how many to pot up and how many to compost .

cheers in advance.

I throw them around in the GH border until they grow a bit, then I pull them out as weeds.
Many years ago I bought 50 day raab, 60 day raab and 70 day raab - they all ended up the same way - as chook food.

Nothing to do with the heat. That's what it does.

I tried Raab this year and I love the leaves for eating. It bolted quite quickly, the the sun fried it all, but I have sowed some more
