(Kailaan, Chinese Broccoli, Chinese Dark Green Kale)
Annual.  If sown in the spring, the plant matures in 50 days.  If sown in the fall, the plant matures in 70 days.  If sown in the spring, the plant will resprout and come again for several more cuttings and harvests, a very worthy feature.  This is an easy to grow source of fat, tender stems crowned by dark green leaves, used in salads or for cooking.  Makes an awesome stir-fry.  Excellent when boiled, heaped on a plate, and drizzled with olive oil, garlic, lemon and herbs.  Oh my goodness, is it yummy.  Consumption of dark green leafy vegetables is the key to keeping healthy.  If you make a large mixed salad daily, and use raw garlic in the dressing, I personally guarantee that you will get sick less often, and have a lesser likelihood of getting cancer.  Trust me, I'm a body advocate, and I'm pretty sure you have one of those (a body, that is,not an advocate, well maybe an advocate) if you are reading this.  Anyhow, this particular plant is very giving, as new stems and leafy crowns will come again after the first cut, and again after the second cut, unless extreme weather intervenes.  Sow spring or fall.  Easy.  200 Seeds/pkt.,  Open Pollinated
