   Incredible Vegetables get top marks for very good, almost entirely recyclable / compostable packaging (just a little plastic tape around the generous root balls), and nice healthy-looking plants.

   (If you’re tempted by any of the plants, you really need to set an alarm for the date they next go on sale: I ordered these on the Monday morning, and the collard was out of stock by the evening.)

     @Flick I love collards. I usually grow a bit of chard too which I think is biennial so it won't last forever but you get a couple years of harvest.

     @thatguyoverthere They reckon eight to ten years of useful life from both the kale and the collards, which is pretty impressive, and stem cuttings are as simple as cutting a branch, stripping most of the leaves, and sticking it in the ground. Impressive if true!

     @thatguyoverthere Oh, and if you by any chance come across a source of the old varieties of nine-star broccoli, they’re supposedly worth a try. The UK seed seems to have degraded so you don’t get much of a crop any more, but it was apparently a great plant.

     @Flick broccoli is one of my favs honestly. I might try this purple broccoli this year although it won't produce until next.
