I have been growing a small patch of Russian Red Kale. It is absolutely delicious! Easy to grow and bug resistant, too. I discovered that you can simply remove a leaf, place in water and it will grow roots in about a week or two. So I keep it going by putting a few leaves in one my hydroponic lettuce setups. The first one I rooted was in an old coffee can with a small hole cut out of the plastic lid. Or you can wait on the tiny seeds to appear. It holds up to very low temps (we got down to 13 degrees for several days here) and was even tastier after the freeze. It will grow thru out the summer, too, but prefers cooler temps. Very good plant to have on hand and tastes very similar to collards.
My little recipe is to take a large boiler and put about an inch of water, add about 1/2 onion and some Morton seasoning blend and one cube of Knorr Vegetable boullion. Cook on medium high for about 10 minutes. When almost done, I sprinkle a bit of bacon bits or the like on them and let it cook a bit longer. I think I may simmer it for about 30 minutes on a lower temp before they are the way I like them.
Of course, in the winter you can eat the smaller leaves in salads, etc.
Try it out.
