Seaweed kale
« on: April 01, 2013, 22:32 »
I spotted some Seaweed Kale seeds on DT Brown and thought they looked rather interesting so I ordered some to try. I'm a big fan of curly kale but not Tuscan, so hopefully we'll like them. I'm trying to build my repertoire of high return plants that'll stand all year and give me a big return for a single sowing, like curly kale and chard.

Anyone tried these before? What did you think? Are they as easy to grow as curly kale?

Sutherland is nice. I got mine from TRSC a few years back. Might grow it again this year if I have any left.


ETA: Just noticed you were talking about Sunderland, which I've never  heard of, save on a map ::)

Trying them now, but they have not germinated in there pots. I really was looking forward to growing these on a permanet bed and blanching them with buckets in spring and summer. I really dont think mine are going to grow.
