I planted wombok starting from seed - it has grown beautifully but it is prickly on the leaves (not edible at all) and did not grow to the normal head of cabbage is just fallen leaves. Has anyone else had this problem?

Maybe the seed was something feral, or saved from an F1 hybrid so would not grow true?

I have grown HEAPS of bokchoy, and i save the seed each year. About 10% of it is always the prickly leaf (not good to eat) kind of bokchoy. I feed it to the chooks.
