Another convert in the making! It's SO good for you; one of those veggies that gives you a lot of bang for your buck. I love it raw in salads and cooked in soups and quiche. Still trying to love it cooked like spinach, but not having much luck, LOL!

You turned me on to Shishito peppers and I turned you on to kale. You can plant it in a 5 gallon bucket if you need to and it can tolerate some shade. It's better after a frost in the fall, IMHO.

This season I am growing 'Dinosaur' Kale and ''Prism' Kale:

One of the reasons I avoided kale or spinach is I was advised by my doc years ago. They are both high in vitamin K and I have been prone to dvt’s and blood clots. I am on a blood thinner now probably forever, so I figure it’s OK to eat now. Got my seeds at the local hardware - variety is Red Russian. Can you save seeds from kale?
