Might be useful for anyone who runs out of room in the veg patch next year.

Early in the season when it was time to plant out the Kale plants I ran out
of room and planted some in the flower borders in the front garden. This
morning when I went out to take down the blackened foliage of the Dahlias I
found four very healthy very green Kale's. I had written them off as they
were buried under huge dahlias with little or no light but they're perfect.
I never dig up my dahlias so the Kale can grow on now and keep the usual
bare patch at bay
