All Hail The Great Kale

Tomorrow signals a biodynamic day for leaf and with that in mind, I am going to sow some kale seeds then and some more on the New Moon, around the 19th July. These will be going into my polytunnel eventually, so I will be able to run a little experiment as to which germinates better and which grows more strongly. July is my usual month for sowing Kale - Toscana de Nero. I love this variety as it stands up so well to overwintering and to the various pests that come its way in the Spring. It is definitely one for the hungry gap!
