Kale - Brassica Oleracea
The best way to encourage new shoots to grow from November onwards is to start cutting and discarding old or yellowing leaves. New growth will follow and be ideal to cut between February and May. Kale has another great advantage over some vegetables and that is it is very hardy and tough and will grow quite happily in poor soil. There are however, a couple of problems that face anybody who chooses to grow Kale. Firstly, as a member of the Cabbage family it is susceptible to club root and secondly, pigeons are rather partial to it. |
