Spring Rabe Broccoli

50 Days. Italian heirloom. Branching variety grown for it's tender tops and leafy shoots. Cold hardy cool weather crop, doesn't do well in heat. Technically not a broccoli but more closely related to turnips or mustard. Stronger, somewhat pungent, asparagus like flavor. Blanching reduces the stronger flavor. Quick maturity and somewhat more disease resistant than broccoli. Great for fresh use, cooked, or frozen. Sow indoors 4 weeks before transplanting out in Spring. Can also be direct sown in Spring as soon as soil can be worked, and again in Fall. Great for fresh use or cooked. Can be frozen for storage. brassica oleracea
