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.

I love when that happens!

I welcome ANY vegetable that freely reseeds and tries to repopulate the world in My garden!
They choke out weeds and many are edible raw.
As I said in My garden(s) it is turnips.

Now I have massive endive or radicchio plants in the garden. I suppose this is one of the bonuses that comes with not worrying too much about 'weeds!'
