I think the moral of that is, always take cuttings. Nine star Perennial broccoli tends to be short-lived; the same probably applies to Daubenton's. The HSL had Daubenton's seed this year. I have a bunch of seedlings, but it's a bit early to tell whether it's a new variety, or the same as the 'normal' green one.

Somehow, it makes it more precious to me and I want to find its place in a good supper. I am more european than american in taste, but I need recipes if someone can give them to me. Recipes anyone? ?My father never grew any kale, but he grew Swiss chard. He was a minimalist type of cook, he liked his food cooked simply. I think his favorite method of cooking chard would work well for the kale: Sauteed Swiss Chard Diced smoked bacon Diced sweet onion, such as 1015 Fresh ground black pepper to taste Saute the bacon & onions together in a large, heavy skillet until the onion is soft & transparent. Meanwhile, swish the chard in a sink full of cool tap water. Shake off most of the water. Chop the chard into 1 inch pieces. Throw the still slightly wet chard in the skillet with the bacon & onion. Saute until the chard is wilted, but still crisp/tender. Season with the fresh ground black pepper. Serve immediately. |

Graham was thinking it was a variegated reselect of variegated Daubenton. I'm now inclined to agree

I got periennal tree collards yesterday. They had it at my local nursery for $8. Seems fine today after I transplanted it yesterday, untanglung the roots and putting a stake on the side. Hmm.. according to online sources the best way for it to flower is as a young cutting, leaving it to get rootbound, and exposing it to heat. I want a version with kale leaves also. Are there any limits in terms of crossing brassicas? Cauliflower and broccoli crossed to this? So much potiental but of course low chance of finding the exact set of traits.

I moved my variegated Daubenton's yesterday. the original stem had rotted, and branches running along the ground had rooted, so it broke up naturally into several smaller plants. One plant has become a row!

Great looking plants, cortona ! Incredible sizes on some of those leaves (or your mobile is really small!  ). |

I only have one plant from the HSL Daubenton's seed, and it's clearly different from the regular green Daubenton's.

This thread is quite fascinating! On a related note: are there any US sources for variegated Daubenton?

eastexAs best as I can tell, none of the various true clones of Daubenton are available in the US including the variegated clone.
