A delightful mix of Kales, with cream and Mauve centres. The exceptionally long period of cropping means that if you stagger your sowing you can harvest throughout the summer and autumn months. Perfect for boiling, steaming or frying and can even be used raw as a colourful garnish.Sow kale seeds from March to May in pots or trays using a good free-draining seed compost and cover with 6mm of vermiculite or compost and maintain at a minimum temperature of 15C (60F) until after germination, which takes 5-7 days. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle after about 5 weeks from sowing to 50cm (20in) between rows and 40cm (16in) between plants in the row. Plant firmly and keep well-watered until established.Alternatively, seed can be sown thinly 12mm deep in a prepared seedbed outside, allowing 30cm (12in) between rows.Use fleece to protect against caterpillar and aphid attack as necessary, and use netting to protect against pigeons during the winter.
