InterestingI havent picked yet but have lots of kale in my brassica bed, unfortunatel alot of white fly in with it. I am thinking of leaving it until the coller weather so that the whitefly are not such an issue (if at all) - am I right? Should I be doing anything in the meantime? Even if that means picking and discarding top growth to encourage new growth?Psi
If the caterpillars don't ease up there won't be any for me
Thanks for the picking advice thifasmom - I'd just been picking the mid-range leaves before in case of killing them off and they ended up looking quite odd.
I think the Cavallo nero was the only one I enjoyed eating in the Autumn last year. The red russian becomes delightful with a real spring cabbagy taste and amazingly prolific in early spring. Before that, I didn't like the taste. Although almost anything is edible if you fry it with onions so I guess it is partly a matter of how you cook it.
