No, but I planted spring raab in our
unheated hoophouse this fall and it is going strong. Really good in salad –
not strong at all. Keeps growing. Beth Spaugh From:

To my surprise, broccoli raab has developed a pretty devoted following
among my CSA and market customers. I have grown sessantina grossa and
spring raab, both from Johnnies. They taste and cook up good but on
my farm here in CT they grow longer (taller) and have less flower heads
than the 'Andy Boy' variety in the store. I tend to like the taste and
look of the 'Andy Boy type' but haven't seen a variety that looks like
that, or maybe it just has a different growth habit on the west coast. Any ideas on where to find a variety thats shorter and more 'heady'? Thanks, Paul
