I'm Julie, and I live with my husband and three young daughters in New South Wales suburbia, Australia. This is the online journal I kept until recently, of how we are trying to live more simply & sustainably in suburbia.
This blog is on indefinite hiatus but please feel free to look around my archives for some inspiration in your own journey to living more lightly and sustainably.
Nineteen :: Kale ::
My favourite winter leafy green. It's pretty, it's super-tasty and
Peter Cundall credits his longevity to a daily dose of kale, so clearly, it's good for you as well ;-)
Cheers,

It really is a beautiful thing.
Hi Julie,
I recently saw the most spectacular purple/black Kale recently but unfortunately the people who had it didn't grow it so didn't know the variety.
I am really interested in the different types of kale atm. I would appreciate hearing what that variety is, the stems look very similar to my Red Russian but the leaf structure is totally different.
Kind Regards
Belinda
Hi Sonia,
it is, isn't it?
Hi Belinda,
It's Red Bor, a hybrid unfortunately. I am also growing Red Russian this year to compare, as I prefer open-pollinated obviously, but all my seedlings are sulking at the moment. Might find out in spring!
Cheers,
Julie
