Default Cavolo Nero

Max,

Think kale; 45 - 60cm between plants is a typical recommendation. I've
always cut, rather than pulled, the leaves (and, in spring, the
flowering stalks), a few at a time, starting late August/early September
from a late April/early May sowing. But I'm sure you can start cutting
earlier if the leaves seem big enough and you don't take too many. They
can get pretty tough, I find.


thanks very much fir the advice. I guess I need to thin mine out a bit
then. Would it be too late to do that now? (they're about 30cms tall or so).

Cheers, Dan
