I was able to get Penca Povola Verde, a Portuguese Cabbage from Seeds of Italy. They rarely have it, but they had it this year. This is my favorite cabbage. It's loose leaf, great for stuffing, has no burp and no smell. It was the earliest cabbage of the season. I

I've gone to that jardicentro link, seem to have set up an account, etc. As soon as I try to access anything past the index, all I get is the lawn-page wallpaper. Any ideas?

No, that seems not to have been the cure. I think my computer is telling me I've ordered far too much seed already.

Turns out the problem was my failure to realize how slowly that site responded to me; all good things come to he who waits....and waits....

One of my Gloire de Portugal plants has tried to run to seed - I've taken the flowering stalks off - and the flowers were white, which I haven't seen before in a brassica. Is this normal in couves, or is it just this variety?

Robert, I think that was what I had as well. I will try going through older photos, and see if I managed to catch them on film.

Couves Tronchudas are supposed to have white flowers while the Coves Repolho (cabbage), Couves Penca and Couves Lombarda are yellow flowered
