    I've never actually seen kale growing and I'm ashamed to say, I 've never tasted it either. Haven't a clue how big it grows but 6ft would make a nice edible hedge

    The pigeons would love it @B3. They 'trim' my kale down to stubs in the hungry winter months.

    Wish I’d left it in the ground now,  birds could have eaten it over winter.
