Volunteers You Can Count On

[heirloomgal]

Last year I allowed Green Wave mustard greens to go to seed, and now I am finding the occasional beautiful volunteer in the garden. This one has such a striking form with swirly ruffled leaves. It's almost too pretty to eat!

I agree. This definitely falls into the category of decorative vegetable. Beautiful shiny, frilly leaves.

Volunteers are especially welcome in the autumn when there's not much else going on in the garden. I found these squash and brassicas the other day.
