Kale – Pentland Brig
Pentland Brig is an old fashioned variety that we have rediscovered and are now selling because of its unique sweet taste. It is slightly less curled than most standard kales and has a distinct paler leaf yet is extremely winter hardy. It can be sown from March onwards either as standard kale and the whole leave used or shredded, or grown on a closer spacing and used at ‘teen’ leaf size.
