Weedwhacker said:I'd say it's definitely not chard... and the leaves seem darker and heavier than any Michihli type that I've grown; maybe just one of the savoyed "regular" cabbages? (but which hasn't formed a head yet, obviously)
I agree with "heavier" or thicker than most Michihli, and you probably have a good point about "darker". Also, based on limited experience, the veins would probably be thicker and longer if it was Michihli.
>> maybe just one of the savoyed "regular" cabbages?
Could be.
I kind of like the idea that since we call THEIR style of cabbage "Chinese cabbage", we should call our style "Western cabbage". But I guess it doesn't matter unless someone makes vegetables start getting visas before crossing oceans.
