A garden in the village has what look like several very large lettuce
growing in their flower border`s, we have had a couple of hard frosts and I
would have thought that if it was lettuce they would have gone long ago,
what else can the plants be.

They could be lettuce because my winter density and another winter one stand
up to frost quite well

I'm betting on one of the many decorative cabbages available. Quite pretty
and very hardy.

I don't want to appear to be as ignorant as I obviously am :-) however
thanks all who answered my query, I think it is lettuce of some variety, I
will do some research and give it a try next year it does look very
attractive
