This has never happened before – my Taunton Deane kale is just coming into flower. I have had the plant for years and it has always been just leaves and I have propagated it with cuttings. It’s a lovely plant and makes wonderful kale crisps when dried in a low oven.

The plant itself is humungous – about as tall as the nearby apple tree – even though I cut it back a lot last year.
