The damn pidgeons have munched their way through my cavolo nero kale
This is the first year it has happened and i even put up many of my old cds as a dangley deterent.. (to be honest the music choices were dire and no loss to my collection!)

After trawling through various seed catologue websites i think it might be too late to start more seeds off..... ??

Should i bite the bullet and order some plants online or can i still get a crop if re-sowing seed now?

Please help "O Wise Ones"....

I think you're really too late to sow now.

They might be OK as a late crop in a poly tunnel if you have access to one.

thank you both, looks like am going to have to buy some plug plants.... or rethink cropping....

Sorry to read about your kale Petersson, but see elsewhere that you may have a pop at some late Broad Beans - good idea!

After all, you may only get them to the stage of 'mangetout', but that to me is an added bonus!

Good luck anyway!
