Hi Veggie
I wondered how your walking stick jersey was doing? I have some Couve Galega (Portuguese Walking Stick Cabbage), about 4inches now sitting on the windowsill, wasn't sure whether to pot on or plant out?
RE: An Alphabet of Kales (almost). - Veggie - 11-03-2021
No idea how mine are - not even sure where they are!! In a GH but its too wet and windy to hang around in a GH at the moment. They're certainly not 4" high.

The evenings are long and dark now so I've been revisiting my Kale seeds. Including odd things like Portuguese cabbage and Perennial cauliflowers, I have 65 different varieties.
Of my early sowings last year, some survived and are dotted around the garden - but I have no idea what they are!
I do like Kale plants - they have character, different leaf shapes, flat or curly, different colours from green to red to purple and a variety of stem colours to contrast with the leaves.
Must sow more soon.

[attachment=5625]This is the perennial kale that you have seeds of - must be about 6 years old now.
[attachment=5624] I'll be turning these sideshoots into cuttings soon.

On a blind tasting could you tell the difference in taste/texture between the kales?
If not, you only need grow one or two varieties
