What are 'greens'?
Hi All,
I was talking to the missus tonight re my recent produce growing experiment and she used the term 'greens'. I understood the term to be a generic one that related to most green / leafy, typically eaten cooked vegetables but primarily cabbage (but including broccoli, kale, spinach etc etc). I personally use the term like when living with my parents as in "you aren't leaving the table till you eat all your greens" sort of thing. But those other vegetables are generally sold and advertised as such (like spinach rather than generic 'greens' as such). She was confused (being even less of a gardener than me) as in the supermarkets she buys items marked as 'greens' on the packet so assumed they were an actual variety as such (sort of a thinner leafed cabbage). I'm not sure if I would put brussel sprouts in the 'greens' category though (personally I'd put them straight in the compost bin) .;-) So, what does the panel think (apart from my need to get out more etc). ;-) All the best ..
