    Oh, it's so hairy!!

    I was soo pleased when my chinese cabbage grew much faster than the chard and kale that I planted BUT it's hairy! Is it supposed to be or did I get a batch of the wrong seeds in the packet? I can't imagine what it will be like to eat it - I thought that it was a salad leaf, should it be cooked maybe?

    Are you sure you haven't sown Comfrey?

      The seed packet was from Lidl, it definitely says Chinese Cabbage. I thought that it would be like that I buy in the supermarket.

            It's taking up valuable growing space so I've composted it. - A bit more room for some chard now.

              Mine wasn't from Lidl (not sure of variety, possibly from Kings?) but was also a bit hairy but cooked up lovely in a stir fry

              Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

              Which one are you and is it how you want to be?
