SPRING GREENS are one of the special delights of the vegetable garden or allotment. You can buy them in the shops, but there’s not much point — this is a crop for eating when it’s fresh from the ground, crisp and juicy, not wilted on a supermarket shelf.
The seeds, for sowing this month, might be listed as “spring greens” or “spring cabbage.”
Some varieties can be harvested either as loose greens or, a bit later, as small cabbages. In either case, they’ll have a sweet flavour noticeably different to the heartier winter cabbages.
