My curly kale has done great service for over two years, this is its third
spring. Now it is going to seed which it hasn't done before. Most
brassicas go to seed in their first year. Why is kale different? Why
now?

My seed savers books say that curly case is biennial. Perhaps yours is
confused?



Some references speak of a biennial kale and a perennial one. The seed packet
I have doesn't say which. It looks like it was the biennial one and time is
up. Even so I am quite pleased with it. It has provided for us winter and
summer with very litle attention.
