I will attempt Kale however I need to be a bit careful as it's high in vitamin K!

Unfortunately most brassicas contain significant amounts of vitamin K and will impact warfarin:

(The gist of the article seems to be that vitamin K in foods generally does not affect warfarin metabolism, but both K supplements and brassicas do.)

You might want to look into non-cruciferous leafy greens, eg. chopsuey greens (which are from the daisy family) or fat hen or Good King Henry (Chenopodium) which are often found as a weed.

Thanks Eyren

Funny enough I've got a Good King Henry cutting/plant that needs to be planted at the plot. I must admit I didn't know about the non-cruciferous malarky I just wanted to try a few perennial vegSmile

Yes agreed all in moderation. It's always a bit of a gamble when you have the long gap between INR check-ups!
