I feel a bit silly asking, but can anyone tell me what seeds I've bought
(in English)?
I don't know what these vegetables are. The sowing and cultivation
instructions seem simple enough, but I don't actually recognise what these
veg are let alone how to cook or prepare them after they've grown?

Here in Holland they cut it up fine and add it to mashed potato (50/50
ratio)

Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa) :

Good as a stir fry or steamed. Can also be used to wrap around filling
rice/meat/fish)
