    I have some Kale grown under the AEOS scheme. The sheep broke in and ate the heads of some of it. Question will this kale grow again

    I read somewhere that Kale will grow for 2 years

    It will seed I'm April time. Don't let anything near it then as it will poison them

    The seeds should be there from the old plants. It might get club root though because the ground is in kale too long, is it only for bird cover?

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    yes just for bird cover even though my sheep will eat some of it now as there is only 1 row of electric fence stopping them
