HiFOr the past two seasons some of my Red Ursa/ kale crosses have survived through winter...they have a woodeny stem and lots of leaves...which still taste ok.Some are starting to produce flowers already....I am impressed with these plants and want to collect my own seed as they cope well in some parts of a very wet/ windy site.BUTIs it a case that I should stop some flowering to keep cropping/ avoid bitterness? Or best to pull out all the ones except some for seed collection and sow more.I am planting other Kale too.
and also Sutherland Kale.

At this time of year it is relatively easy to take cuttings, place them in a pot, not too hot, out of direct sunlight, with a thin poly bag around them to keep moisture in. Many should root.
Earlypea....do you mind me asking where you got your seed from. We got some from HSL and some from USA....and they do taste different to each other
Vinlander, this time of year I snap off the little sideshoots, stick them into pots in the conservatory, with a very thing plastic bag around the pot (when I remember) and root them on the watering table. I have also broken bits off and just stuck them into the soil outside, but that is much more hit and miss. You should be able to try rooting any part of the plant, but the young fresh sideshoots work best for me, at least at this time of year.
