The Red Russian Kale pictured above might seem a little ragged, but it was picked in January, after many freezes and thaws. Of all the greens I had overwintering under row covers (green wave mustard, daikon, red sails lettuce, arugula) this plant fared exceptionally well, and the others faded badly, It was delicious, had a good crunch in the salad I made, and was not tough at all. It is a great "cut and come again green." I have been growing it for few years and will continue to do so, as long as it is available.The mail might be slow, but many seed catalogs should come soon, and are available for online viewing!
I was thinking about planting kale this year. I'll have to give this variety a go! Thanks for the recommendation.
