Italian Seed Sources

Over the years, I’ve tried to find new and interesting varieties of crops to grow. This year, we have increasedthe number of Italian seeds. We have new cabbages and cauliflowers this spring. There is a pointed and round cabbage, which at harvest seem to be greener and more vibrant than or regular fare. Your comments on the flavor is very important, so please let us know. Just because it may have a fancy name or pedigree, does not mean it is a great one. 

Just before the holidays, I mixed up seed of several varieties and sent the Ziploc bag to the nursery to sow. You could see some quite interesting specimens. Please take a picture, so we can identify it when you send in a comment.
