planted broccoli, harvesting spring greens
 

Here's something odd - I could swear that it said broccoli on the seed
packet, but what seems to have grown is spring greens, or something
very like it. Trade Descriptions Act or what?

If it's purple-sprouting broccoli, it won't sprout until early spring,
any time up till April, depending upon the variety. In the meantime it
will look like most other brassicas, i.e. cabbagey.

So what'll happen over the winter? Will it just die back?
