Venturing into greens! Any experience/comments on these?

**nctomatoman** · March 22, 2010

We are enjoying eating greens (young ones in salads, more mature ones in stir fries) more and more each year - I think we are as excited about the beet greens as we are about the beets themselves.

So to expand our selection of lettuce, chard and Russian Kale, Spinach and Arugula, I've ordered a selection of interesting sounding greens from Johnnys -

Purple Mizuna
Red Mustard
Magenta Spreen
Osaka Purple Mustard
Red Choi F1
Upland Cress
Yukima Savoy
Radiccio Chiogga Red Preco #1
Kumatsuna Summerfest F1
Broccoli Rabe

has anyone tried some or all or any of these? Easy to grow? Harvest tips? Ones they particularly like or don't like?
