Peacock White Kale

 
Take a gander at our kale plant.
 
I know I know, what a pathetic looking plant!  I couldn't agree more.  This dude should be short and stout, not tall and lanky but since we're not running a greenhouse here this is the outcome.
 
My farmer friend Tim had a bunch of these in his greenhouse when I visited him last and boy-oh-boy did they look great.  I brought a couple home with me and sadly it didn't take too long before you could see their sadness.  The other one was relegated to the compost pile about a month ago.
 
As you can see in the picture this one is beginning to flower.  Weird huh, you'd think not so maybe there's some happiness in there.
 
Think Spring!
