mrbojangles Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Hi people, Mrs BoJ is growing these plants here in the UK (sorry about the quality of the pics, they are off the camera phone). A) Can anyone tell me what type of plant they are? I believe they are Thai. How do we stop those pesky insects from eating them? I don't really know much about pesticide etc and i don't know which is safest for human consumption. Thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbk Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Looks like Chinese Kale to me Since you eat the leaves I would avoid pesticides. Since they are container grown it may be best to pick the bugs off by hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
