I could say the same about leeks or onions but I won't.

I only grow a dwarf one Blue Scotch Curled. That way my mesh will reach over it against the butterflies.

Each to their own though and sorry If I come across as a boring old fart (which I probably am)

I agree with you, Vinny,
...........you're a boring old fart.

I’m also in agreement that lot of things do taste the same no matter what variety. But you can make a very nice edible bouquet with lots of kale varieties

I didn't want to disagree with you Vinny. It was one of those occasions when I would have been wrong whatever I said.

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.

I hope to harvest it for a while longer once it puts on a bit more growth before eventually bolting. It will be interesting to see if once bolted the new shoots are tasty.

That reminds me I'd better get some kale seeds sown. I've reverted to a dwarf crinkly one, dwf blue, I think, it goes under the mesh well and I only want say 6 plants, no use sowing masses of them. Another little job to do.
