Yup, Tim, you'll have it all winter long. It also will sprout little florets, which are also quite nice to eat, in March, depending on the weather. Yummy!
This year it's squash.

all the kales - red, green and black, keep really well through the winter and get better as it gets colder (should also kill off the whitefly that they are probe to getting as well

I grow them just for picking through winter and would say in my experience the cavalo nero keeps the best - not such big plants either, and don't they look great at this time of year  :)
