Kale from last year

This is curly kale in the garden. Pretty spectacular, isn't it?
I planted it last fall. It needs two years to go to seed, so it has to survive the winter.
Well, it did, and now it is blooming, then it will go to seed. The leaves are still good to eat, and now the little blossom buds are like broccoli, so we eat them too. Even the flowers are edible and tasty.
I have already replanted kale for this year, but I'm not ready to take out last year's crop. We can still get seeds.
Four seasons of food for free. Well, there is the work part, but.....
I LOVE MY GARDEN!!!

I would love to experience that!
Pretty flowers!
I wonder if these hardy plants would survive a South Florida summer.
Dirt therapy!????❤️

Probably. You just have to leave them in the ground through your fall and winter. Try leaving one to see. I left all of them, and we have a ton of kale!!!
