a close up of kale



I love the character of these leafy vegetables. They don't really sit upright, the way we expect them to do.  The close up is showing kale forming a less than accurate, of letter S. The bottom part of the stem will harden and become woody. Before that happens, the whole plant will collapse whenever there is gutsy wind. Almost invisible to the eyes, the plant will rise and get back to the upright position hours later. The bottom part is so small compared to the  fatter and greener part of the stem.



They are no more babies as in the earlier post of  kale is herea tale of kale  and Introducing Kale into the garden. Wait a while longer, then some leaves can be cut for a fried menu.
