Red Russian kale (Brassica napus) in the lawn
These kale grew up in the grass from seeds I spilled last year. The only care they have received is that I spared them when I mowed the grass. I wrote a bit about them in July, but since then they have grown considerably larger. They deserve a new post.
It is apparently possible to grow this kale in a lawn without any attention, apart from not mowing them, when mowing the lawn, and then of course the harvest and cooking in the kitchen. Nobody should tell me any more, that they do not have the strength to cultivate a few vegetables 
PS. The green netting in the background is covering the garlic bed, so neighbourhood cats will not dig up and play with the cloves. I will remove it no later than when I notice the first small garlic sprouts.

For a number of seasons I’ve been trying to grow kale and failing each time. And here you are with one growing like a weed. Where is the justice in all this?

By the way, I love your blog and I visit it frequently. I have also incorporated your link within my OrchidCare.org site as a valuable resource for my visitors.
Would you be willing to return the favor by placing my link into your blogroll?

What a lovely kale. That must be one of the only ones I have yet to try planting. From what you say, it can take quite a lot, so am sure it will be a winner! Thanks for the tip.

It’s also possible to grow sugarloaf chicory in the same way
