Kale (Brassica oleracea)
Slow Growing
Slower to establish but require much less maintenance and management.
Winter Hardy
Once properly established plants in this mix usually tolerate a typical British winter.Ref: KALE. Kale is the highest yielding brassica and, being winter hardy, can relieve pressure on winter forage demands. It has a high protein content and is usually grazed between September and March, depending on sowing time. Kale is grown in England, Scotland and eastern parts of Wales. Seed is sown between April and June. Twenty weeks are required to grow a full crop. More details...
