  1. Outstanding Kale

    Posted by Antoniette on 10th Feb 2013

    I have grown this Kale for 2 years now, and all others pale in comparison. Very winter hardy compared to the others, I have been picking it all winter so far (and it's now February). Not bitter like some others, sweetens after frost, and delicious fresh as baby kale. Makes the best kale chips ever, nice thicker sturdy leaves are great in soups as well.

  2. Excellent Kale

    Posted by Gayle on 24th Apr 2012

    I've been growing black kale for 4-5 years. It's wonderful in combination with pasta dishes, but just last year I tried it in a salad with a lemony Caesar dressing on it. I'm an addict. This is an excellent producer, btw.

  3. Beautiful Hardy Kale

    Posted by Pat in Ill. on 22nd Mar 2012

    I love it's beautiful texture leaves and how hardy it has been throughout the winter with a spring like flow cover(planted last August and it's here ready to eat along with your spinach and new to me the
    three varieties of cima di rapa) I couldn't be more thrilled about the results! BY THE WAY "thank you"
