Hi all,
Was wondering if anyone has ever left a swede in the ground over winter to collect the leaves in spring? I left one in last year and once it started getting some sun about a month ago, it started to grow lots of leaves and flower buds. The funny thing is that it is about 4 feet tall and so has more greens and buds on it than my PSB! Didn't need to feed it or anything, it just came up all by itself and I have been using the leaves like spinach and they are very nice. Think I might do the same this year with one or two. Might also let it flower to see if the bees like them.
