    Two days ago I put in purple sprouting, calabrese and kale so I think you should be ok as long as you make sure everything is well netted against cabbage white etc

    Just remember that 20 kale plants is a lot of kale unless you have a very large family/friends to feed and 60 plants overall will need a lot of room to grow.

    Thanks Kezlou - I thought I'd take a chance as the allotment is looking a little bare now the spuds and onions are up.

    Haven't ordered them yet fruittea, seriously thinking about it though. Reviews look good.

    Fingers crossed might have an allotment with my dad in the next two weeks :)
