ElPolloDiablo said:Technically they are "short lived perennials",but all cultivated Brassica are effective useless after their growing season is over due to declining yields and increased vulnerability to pests and diseases such as armyworms and Black rot. Plainly put it just makes no economic sense to keep on growing them over several seasons.


I disagree, sure you can't eat them; but for the early flowers and seeds are great reasons! They are at no more risk to pests the second year than the first.
