I just want to mention some of the Asian brasscias:

Bok Choy / Pak Choi Brassica rapa var. chinensis
Gai Lan "Chinese Kale/Brocoli" Brassica oleracea
Komatsuna "Spinach Mustard" Brassica rapa

and an Italian heirloom:
Spigariello Liscia / Broccolo Spigariello Brassica oleracea var. 'Spigariello'

One vendor told me that all Brassicas are insect-pollinated, and they all cross-pollinate, requiring a separation distance of ⅓ mile (the foraging range of some insects).

Just because it ISN'T complicated doesn't mean I can't MAKE it complicated!
