I've run out of seeds for my curly kale and don't have access to buy any

They are all running to flower at the moment. Any tips on how to collect
the eventual seeds? Will they just scatter themselves everywhere unless
I do something?

If you have different brassicas, they cross pollinate freely (also
with wild brassicas), you get some really odd things

The only other plant growing next to the kale is land cress. I don't
know if this counts as a brassica though?

The usual way to collect seed is to tie a paperbag over the seed head
& wait for it to fall.
