I showed a video of one I got from Walsall Allotments in Birmingham, UK a few years ago here last week: https:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/?p=25787<br \/>The first below is one of Chris Homanics&#8217; perennial crosses (I lost track of which cross this is). It has large dark glossy leaves (a bit reminiscent of Glazed collards) and hasn&#8217;t flowered, concentrating instead its energy into producing leaves! This is a keeper. <br \/>This is followed by non-flowering offspring of\u00a0 my Daubenton cross with Purple Sprouting Broccoli in 2012 and still alive https:\/\/www.edimentals.com\/blog\/?page_id=1632. These have inherited the daubenton genes but one is taller and has bigger leaves. I&#8217;m still playing with the offspring on the broccoli side, but they are less perennial but some have survived for 5 years but the broccolis are smaller than the father, but still useful.<br \/>Finally is a current picture of Daubenton variegated.<br \/>AND Diamond back moth (k\u00e5lm\u00f8ll) is now here in large numbers (over 100) and will have almost no impact on these kales, nor will other pests!<br \/><br \/>1.
