Here are a couple of pictures of the dwarf kale outdoors. The white blotches are sunlight that my camera changed.

Another seed starter project. I had not planned to do anymore outdoor planting, but I have container space for the Dwarf Siberian Kale on the deck. I think I'll make room for some of the romaine out there, too. What won't fit, I'll grow Kratky style indoors.

I’ve never heard of this dwarf kale variety, will be following to see how it does. Probably better than the giant Scotch blue I started last month and had to terminate due to size lol.
