can I grow kale in a grow bag? I’ve got 8 plants. If not I’ve got a Belfast sink - would that do? Thank you

    Is this curly kale ..... if so each plant needs a space the size of a Belfast sink to itself. 

    Have you got anywhere you can plant them in the ground?

    It is kale black Tuscany- I could put them in my flower beds. Do you think that is best option? X

    Yes.  They're nowhere near as wide as ordinary curly kale and definitely attractive enough to go in flower borders.

    Thank you both-you always come to my aid.  I will go out and plant them this afternoon. Most of the garden is looking dismal...soggy yellowing leaves everywhere apart from the lovely red leaves of the cotoneaster  :)

    The autumn colours are wonderful this year ... so many shades of red :D

    Yes, I'd put them in the flower border ... when I didn't have much room I used to grow broad beans in the front garden ... passers by would stop and ask me what the lovely black and white flowers were :)
