THANKS BOTH! Roll on three months. Or not as I have seriously over ordered seeds this year! Have already( and over optimistically sown 40 varieties) The VSP is a great idea but must be a tremendous ammount of work VC.

No Madeley kale in the VSP at the moment so we must hope that Bario manages to save some Plenty of other kales however http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...ml#post1318494

Is there any point saving seed from one or two plants? Realseeds recommends a population of 20 plants as a minimum, other sources recommend 100 plants! Also, they might have crossed with other species apparently...
