Siberian Kale 'Red Russian'
***COMING NOVEMBER 1ST*** This kale is popular for a reason! Also known as 'Ragged Jack', its blue-green leaves have jagged edges and delicate purple stems and are some of the most tender greens around. Cold weather brings a sweeter flavour and a bright magenta colouring in the leaves. Red Russian Kale came to Europe from North Siberia and its impressive frost hardiness has meant its been grown all over the Northern hemisphere. The 'Red' in the name refers to communism rather than the colour of the plant. In the US this variety is nicknamed 'Communist Kale'. Whatever your political persuasion, your bound to be impressed by this popular heirloom Kale.

Salad Leaf 'Green Purslane'

Harvest the chunky tips for succulent leaves with a slight lemon-y tang. Very high in Vitamin E. Grow in between your tomatoes in the greenhouse or outside. This Green Purslane we offer in the catalogue is distinct from Summer Purslane which is more widely available. Green Purslane is more delicate, closer to the wild form. We find it slower to flower and a much nicer texture than Summer Purslane, which can get a bit slimy. Sow: April-July Plant: 4 weeks after sowing at 20cm apart or interplant with your tomatoes. Harvest: 8 weeks after sowing Kitchen: Best eaten fresh in salads. 0.25g (approx 500 seeds) We pack seeds by weight, the number of seeds in a packet is an estimate.
