Broccoli
15
Broccoli was derived from a species of wild Cabbage, B. oleracea. This species has become so complex that scientists have divided it into several botanical groups
The Common Broccoli (Botrytis group) was developed to have a dense, central flowering head on a thick stem Sprouting Broccoli (Italica group), also known as Italian Broccoli and Asparagus Broccoli, is wild looking and has loose, leafy stems and edible flower shoots, but no central head.
Botrytis group
16
This is a biennial, grown as an annual.It has grayish-green leaves and succulent, edible stems, which support large, compact heads of thickly clustered flower buds. Heads may be blue-green, purple-green or green. Examples:
Premium CropGreen DukeGreen CometRomanesco.
Purple Broccoli varieties also exist
Italica group
17
This Broccoli doesn't form a central head. Instead, it forms many slender, flowering shoots from a central stem. Both green and purple varieties exist. Some prefer this Broccoli (sprouting Broccoli) to the heading type because it has a longer harvesting period.Example: De Cicco
Brussels Sprouts
18
The botanical name is B. oleraceagemmifera. The plants have an erect, central stemDozens of little "sprouts" that resemble miniature cabbages between the petioles of the leavesIf left on the plant they would develop into flowering shoots.
Captain Marvel (early)Prince Marvel (midseason); Jade Cross E (a heavy producing late cultivar).
Cabbage
19
The most familiar are the head Cabbages (Capitata group): B. oleracea capitata, which include
smooth greenred kindscrinkly-leaved Savoys.
There are two kinds of Chinese Cabbages (Pekinensis group):
Heading types, Pe-tsai (B. rapa, which either have cylindrical or barrel-shaped heads; non-heading types, or Pak-choi (B. rapa, Chinensis group), have loosely clustered leaves on succulent stems, but form no compact, central head.
Cabbage
20
Ornamental Cabbages (Acephala group): B. Oleracea acephala, are cultivated for the sake of their beautiful leaves. Pekinensis group, Pe-tsai, - headingThis Chinese Cabbage has several popular names including Pe-tsai, Celery Cabbage and Napa Cabbage. They come in many different shapes; the heads may be long, slender and cylindrical, with dark green tip leaves, such as Michihli types, or short and barrel-shaped, with yellowish-green or yellow leaves, as in Napa types. The leaf petioles are broad and fleshy.
Chinensis group
21
(Pak-choi - nonheading) These Chinese Cabbages are great for small gardens. Other common names are Pak-choi, Bok Choy, Chinese Mustard and Celery Mustard. The dark green leaves have a powdery bloom and broad, white petioles that are shingles at the base. The inner leaves cluster, but do not form a head.
Acephala group
22
(Ornamental) These have beautiful leaves that come in cream, white, pink, purple, green and lavender bicolor variations. The outer leaves of a mature plant are tough, but the central leaves make colourful coleslaw and can be boiled. You can use the leaves to line salad plates or remove the center leaves from young heads to make pretty "bowls" for various fillings.
Cultivars
23
Cabbage - (Capitata group) Early: Golden Acre; Darkri. Midseason: King Cole; Greenback; Roundup; Blue Ribbon. Late: Blue Boy; Rio Verde, Grand Slam. Savoy: Savoy King.
Red Cabbages: Preko. (Pekinensisgroup) Spring A-1; Jade Pagoda; Tropical Delight; Michihli. (Chinensisgroup) Joi Choi; Lei Choi.
Cauliflower
24
The botanical name of this vegetable is B. oleracea variety botrytis. Cauliflower are the large, flat, central clusters of flower buds called curds. The inner leaves on some kinds curve inwards to cover and blanch the curd. Cultivars:
Snow CrownWhite ContessaAlert.
Collards
25
(Acephala Group - ornamental) Collards have wide, smooth, blue-green leaves. The lower leaves hang down with age and the upper or crown leaves are usually cupped. Collards are similar to it's relative, Kale, but taste slightly different and seem to be preferred across the South.Collards - Sugarhat; Catalogna.
Kale
26
(Acephala Group - ornamental) Kale is like a nonheading Cabbage and differs slightly from Collards in appearance and taste. Most Kale varieties have upright, green to deep blue-green leaves with fringed or wavy edges and long petioles. Ornamental, or flowering Kale is a pretty plant with frilly leaves and open growth. The leaves are beautifully colored and variegated with purple, cream, white, or rose. This plant can be eaten, but isn't bred for tenderness.Kale - Dwarf Blue Curled Scotch; Winterbor.
Kohlrabi
27
This vegetable, also known as Turnip Cabbage and Stem Turnip, is a close relative of Cabbage. It grows from an erect stem that forms a turnip-like swelling just above the surface of the soil. This edible swelling is often called a bulb. The foliage grows from the bulb on long stems and resembles the leaves of Cabbage. Kohlrabi - Rapid is a good early variety. Grand Duke is a midseason green hybrid. Purple Danube is an improvement over the old Purple Vienna.
Mustard
28
Mustard has several common names such as Indian Mustard, Brown Mustard and Spinach Mustard. Mustard leaves are yellowish to medium green and fairly wide. When they are mature, the plants are large, loose and open. The White Mustard, B. alba, is a common weed. The Black Mustard, B. nigra, is a tall annual that is grown commercially for its seeds, which are dried and ground to make the familiar condiment mustard.The Leaf Mustard is B. juncea and B. rapa is the Tendergreen Mustard.
Rape & Hanover Salad
29
Some kinds of Rape, also called Colza, are direct seeded from late summer through fall for pasturing livestock. Other varieties are grown to produce birdseed or processed to make rape oil. Some gardeners grow Rape to turn under as an inexpensive green manure crop. The large, rough plants have bristly, lyre- or fiddle-shaped leaves with thick, clasping petioles. A relative of the forage Rape called Hanover Salad (B. napa) has long been grown as a forage and green manure crop in parts of the South.
Turnip
30
Varieties of Turnips are used for their roots, their leaves, or both. The root may be white, white and purple, or yellow. The leaves are medium green and rough. They are tender when they are young and ready to harvest 45 to 60 days after planting.

Pests
33
Cabbage Looper (Trichoplusia ni) Cabbage Loopers are green caterpillars that should be hand-picked from leaves as soon as they appear. At the least, caterpillars will eat holes through leavesCutworms are gray caterpillars in or on top of the soil under young plants. Cutworms eat plants at ground level.Aphids appear in groups or colonies and are small black, brown, gray, green, pinkish or yellow globular-shaped insects most often found on the underside of leaves
Pests
34
Cabbage root maggot (Delia radicum)Cross-Striped Cabbage Worm (Evergestis rimosalis)Flea Beetles are easy to spot on a sunny day because the sun reflects off their shiny bodiesOnion Thrips are small, elongated brownish bugs with lighter stripes on each side. These insects may cause leaves to shrivel, appear whitish to silver in color and be riddled with tiny holes giving foliage the appearance of fine lace.
Pests
35
Rodents such as gophers, moles, rabbits, voles and others will eat young plants or tunnel through garden soil damaging the root systems which may provide an opening for diseaseWhiteflies are small flies with white wings. They are found on the undersides of leaves. When disturbed, whiteflies fill the air around plants
Diseases
36
Bacterial Wilt causes plants to wither and die.Blackleg is a fungal or bacterial infection, which causes the leaves to turn yellow; stems turn black, rot and die. Clubroot is caused by a fungus, which lives in neutral to acid soil compounding this problem is the fact that this fungus may survive in soil for more than two decadesDamping Off is a fungal disease, which causes seeds to decay before they emerge from soil and seedlings to become soft and rot. Seedlings fall over and die
Diseases
37
Downy Mildew is a fungal disease seen most often when weather is damp. Leaves are prone to wilt and dieFusarium Wilt, more commonly known as ‘the yellows’ is a fungal disease most often seen where weather is warm to hot during the growing season.Nitrogen Deficiency causes plants to become weak, lose their color; fading from a healthy dark green to a pale yellow or yellow-green
Diseases
38
Powdery Mildew is a fungus, which causes a powdery coating over all areas of plantsWhite Mold is a fungus that causes plants to yellow and die. Stems and leaves become covered with white mold and then rotVirus Diseases cause stunted, unhealthy plants with rolled, irregular, crinkled, yellow, spotted or streaked leaves. Viruses enter plants through openings caused by insect pests
Viruses
39
Plant viruses are responsible for 45% of emerging plant diseases (fungi 30%,bacteria 16%).Climate change and the withdrawal of insecticide active ingredients willexacerbate plant virus disease problems in the UK.Natural plant resistance is the most environmentally friendly, energy efficient and promising approach to virus control.Little is known about how climate change will impact on natural plant virusresistance (single dominant gene-based resistance often breaks down at temperatures >300C).
