   Hello   
   My family used to grow flatpole cabbages for livestock feed  in South Devon,   
   but I have no idea what the variety was.  Someone near Torquay used to sow   
   them and we would buy transplants and borrow a cabbage planter, and I spent   
   several hours bent over    
   planting them - hoeing was also great 'fun'.   We also used to grow a   
   yellow/orange fleshed mangle but again I have no idea of the variety.  William   
   Woys Weaver wrote a great book called 'Heritage Vegetables' which does have   
   some information in but not    
   enough details.- we need something like this for agricultural crops and crop   
   varieties.  Maybe old NIAB type information leaflets would have something and   
   there was an agricultural research station somewhere near Dartmoor or Exmoor   
   that probably did    
   trials.  I live in Canada now and don't have access to stuff that you might be   
   able to find out.  Seed-a-holic is a good Irish seed company that might be   
   able to help you.  Tuckers on Asburton I think has gone out of business, but   
   they used to do a lot    
   of farm seeds.  I would love to hear what you find out.
