Topic: Old Kale canes wanted

[kenkew]

Not actually a swap as UK to/from Belgium isn't really practical, but I'm looking for older Kale canes at about 2-3" diameter. This would make them at least two year old plants I guess. I was sent one earlier this year thinking it might make a walking stick but it was far too big and with a hole reight down the middle; and actually it's exactly that that I'm now looking for. I have an idea of turning them into 'log' basis for my twiggies.
I'll obviously pay postage and 'cos we can't buy on this thread, I'll donate to A4A instead. Looking for around 3 or 4 canes. (Need a pic?)

no idea what you mean by a kale cane????

It's the ones sold as seed that 'Can grow to 6' and can be made into walking sticks'...so the advert goes. A few people tried them last year so I'm told. The packet shows a boy stood alongside a cane.
Any the wiser??

I take it your planting some next year for use in two years time?

Ironic timing, Glow. I started to clear out of my plot this morning!

I was hoping there might be someone out there who already has some over-grown canes.
(Looking into getting another plot next year.)
