Too Pretty to Eat
The flowering kale I bought from a large garden center at the beginning of winter turned out to be miniature—a good size for my container that already held snapdragons and Creeping Jenny. However, its color is reserved while the variety I’ve seen around town that has long, frilly leaves abounding with fuchsia. Next time that’s the kind I’ll get. Nevertheless, this little kale has a certain amount of charm with its yellow flowers emerging.
The first time I grew flowering kale at our last home, the neighbors were very excited since they had never seen such a wonderful thing—though they were in landscaping all over town!
