Great product!
Now this is a great green, a new staple for me in Virginia. In the fall it produced an abundance of tasty greens with a deep, sweet/turnip raab flavor and was a vigorous grower which seemed to shrug off adverse conditions better than most brassicas. It overwintered well (down to 20 degerees F, or slightly less) and has delighted us with tender thick raab-like florets this Spring as a true biennial. So if you like raab, as I do, this green is an excellent choice.
