An Alphabet of Kales (almost).

I sowed some kales and perennial brassicas today.
Nine Star perennial Broccoli
Thousand head kale
Shetland Kale
Asturian tree Cabbage
Daubenton perennial kale
True Siberian kale.
Most of these are past their sow by date so they've been sown quite thickly in modules - now resting in GH4.
There are roots emerging from the pot of Taunton Deane perennial kale cuttings I acquired a few weeks ago - that makes me very happy. .

Three of these germinated and three didn't!
I've just pricked out Nine Star perennial broccoli. Shetland kale and Asturian tree cabbage. I'll tip the old seeds into my random veg sowing jar - just in case there are some that still have life in them.

Part 2

Having explored my tomato seed hoard, I thought I'd revisit my Kale Collection. ;D

This will be a very quick visit for me. Very little has changed for me since you last visited your kale collection.

I grew Shetland and uncle Bert’s purple last year. I liked them both and again they both just tasted like kale.
And the perennial obviously, but didn’t actually harvest any of him.

By the Perennial one - do you mean the one I sent you a cutting of - Taunton Deane? If so, be warned, it grows into a massive bush!

Yes that him. I didn’t harvest any because he’s still living in a MFB and not overly impressed by the housing arrangement. One day he will be going into the perennial bed ( when it’s built) and can stretch his legs. He will have to lean to share though.
