Kale

Phil@Tyalgum says...
I have chou moellier which is a nice dark green kale but grows fairly tall.. a kind of perennial which stays with you for some years. Nice soft dark green leaves, plus dwarf kale if you can't find anything locally.

I'm pretty sure greenharvest or eden seeds has types you are after. Google search kale seeds and you should get the websites

I was trying to avoid buying from seed companies - I only want one packet of seeds, and the postage costs start to mke it a little expensive. Works better if you need several things.

Phil, they both sound interesting! My email is: julwood at iprimus dot com dot au. Happy to pay postage.

Hi Julie, I bought Serbian Kale from Eden seeds, The postage cost is expensive. Now everywhere in my garden kale plants and seeds. But I've seen that seeds in Box hill Bunnings in Melbourne.

Hi Julie,
Are you still after some kale seed? I friend gave some Siberian kale seeds to me sometime ago. I can only spare some seeds to get you going. Please do not be disappointed/discourage. I grow two to three plants per season (that's enough for a family). I have tried Russian kale but Siberian kale is still the best. It taste like Lai Lan but more volume. I will contact you thru your email address to get your postal address.

Simon and Phil - thanks for the kale seeds. I now have about four varieties, and I'm wondering what you guys do to prevent cross pollination?

I'd like to save the seeds, so don't want them to cross. Thinking of bagging one head of each and cutting off the rest. Any better ideas?

Ok will see if I still have some around, the leaves aren't purple and I am not familiar with the name of tree collard. I think it may be similar to a walking stick cabbage

Looks like you might have to send some back east Julie, I am totally out of them guys!

len, email me at julwood at iprimus dot com dot au. Probably not the right time of year to grow grow now, as they like the cooler weather.

Then again, they are perennial, so they keep going through summer.
