Vegetables
-
Savoy cabbage from the Plainpalais region near Geneva. Head flat-to-roundish, leaves finely curled and thin, excellent taste. Harvest from autumn into winter. Tolerates frost to -5°C.
-
Winter lettuce, somewhat smaller heads, red-brown in colour. Robust, particularly suitable for harsh locations.
-
Sword bean (Canavalia gladiata), broad flat pods. Grows fast. Suitable for first sowing under glass, or as follow-on crop. Does well in open fields, too.
