Here is an interesting vegetable cross between kale and brussels sprouts. I purchased a plant three years ago and it is still leafing out nicely in one of the raised veggie beds. Novelty is the best way to describe it. I don’t ever get the “kalettes” harvested on time–tiny rosettes of kale leaves that are the plants claim to fame. However, when they fully leaf out, the plant has a multitude of edible kale-like leaves to harvest and add to smoothies and salads. In all honesty, I rarely remember to do that, but they are there when I want/need them.

My future plans for this plant are to remember it is there and harvest and freeze the best leaves for smoothies and soups. It wants to give me food! I just need to remember to grab some!
