We were picking kale for our veg boxes this morning & really appreciating the beauty & diversity of this wonderful leafy veg! We grow 7 different varieties of kale which may sound a bit excessive but is really important for resilience, especially in unpredictable weather patterns. The Red Russian often suffers in hot summers but is super hardy so very useful if we get a cold winter; the perennial kales come into their own in the winter & early spring when the annual kales are coming to an end; and having that much diversity is not just beautiful to look at but good all round for pretty much everything including us 💚
