First of all, fengyuan has been around for some years now, I got seeds 3 years ago. There are lots of Japanese greens: mizuna, mibuna, mispoona (which wasn't developed in Japan though), lots of Chinese greens and cabbages, tah tsai, pak choi, bok choi, and so on. There is also a Japanese parsley, mitsuba, two versions, a common green one and a more unusual purple-red variety, sometimes offered as 'atropurpurea'. There is also a whole range of Chinese radishes, rose de Chine is one of the best, but there are lots of 'daikon' varieties also. Mustard greens are all around, as is an edible chrysanthemum, sometimes called shungiku. Much more is available if you have a search:salsola soda,burdock, wasabi,udo, celtuce, and so on... Most of them are quite easy to grow, certainly in late summer (over here in Western Europe) if you grow the cabbages and radishes. By the way, I'm living 20 kms. south of Gent
