three kales comparison

Red ursa
True Siberian
Sutherland

The first 2 cropped better than the Sutherland in the summer  and were less attractive to the snails. They all cropped equally well in the winter and all three aren't runing to seed yet as my neighbours curly one is. The germination is equally good.

They all have a good flavour. I will be sowing the red and russian again as they are better in the summer and more attractive to look at.

BTW the sutherland looks more bushy only because I have picked more of the others because I like them best.

I found Red Russia kale extremely chewy. I mean unchewable!

or there is an alternative variety?

thanks

Most folk use only the leafy part, not the veins or stalks. Plus, the leaves shouldn't be too old or large because they do become tough, just like any other veg. Pick them younger and smaller, and the harvest will continue, and you'll enjoy them way more.
