Whether it started as a "Vegetable du Jour" Idea or as a Plant Parent Page, there is a cross-over. An Idea or a thread could be expanded, extracted or edited down into a parent Plant entry.
I wrote an attempt to describes Brassicas in general and attached it as a comment to the Brassica Parent Plant Page.
Brassicas (Brassica)
Now I wish I had written more about how-to-grow, but I don't have enough really successful experience to write that. I'm still trying out things that I read, for example about Chinese cabbage.
It would be great if people who find a vegetable so easy to grow that "there's no reason to talk about it" would talk about how THEY do it.
For example, I learned about starting peas in too-early spring, in too-wet clay, here at ATP, ideas I hadn't seen elsewhere. Besides soaking the peas overnight before planting:
1. keep them on damp paper towels or coffee filters until the rootlet emerges, then rush each sprouted pea into the ground within 12 hours of seeing the radicle.
2. actually start them indoors in deep cells and just transplant them gently
3. You can grow peas in pots! A pot sitting on blacktop is warmer than cold, wet clay even if the clay is in a raised bed.
