The Jersey Cabbage
leaves were sometimes eaten by people


The small young leaves are quite nice as are the immature flower heads.

Overall, I'm glad I grew Jersey Cabbage once:

* Novelty
* Did amaze the neighbours :-)
* Some food from it
* Stunning when it flowered and attracted a thick brown haze of tiny
insects.
