Well it was time to pick the largest Bok Choy left in the ground, and that freed up space for my mystery veg.
It also gave me an excuse for a wide shot of my west beds.
I would have photos of my yummy Bok Choy only one had cabbage maggots *in the stems* fuck. And it turns out I’m pretty mad about that.
Anyways, mystery plants are in and they’re ready to grow!
I will have to treat these beds now that I know a handful of the cabbage flies are still flying around. Never wanted to bother with beneficial nematodes but I don’t have a choice at this point.
As for the identity of the mystery plant…
I did find one other plant in the store that had some similarities.
Portuguese cabbage or sea kale? This isn’t sea kale. Sea kale is its own thing.
But a fancy kale sounds nice I suppose.
If I can only protect it from maggots bleh.
The Neanderthal Gardens 
Identifying it sort of takes the fun out of it. At least it isn’t purple cauliflower.
