some time ago exist a tread about this kale and the attempt to cross it to some other cale in order to transfere the pereniality to something other, under irrigation stress(no water and strong hot weater) the past year one of my two daubenton plants(clones of the same plant from a friend here) flower and i have in the same period black kale flowering so i try to hand pollinate the two; after several attempt i've obtained around 15/20 seeds that looks nice, this spring i've test sowed 5 seeds and of this i've obtained 2 good plants that i've trnsplanted near the two daubenton hoping in a possible flowering of the daubenton for a backcros i've take some photos to show wath i've achieved the shape and color are really in between the two parents and the ofseting abit are really interessant for me because here we eat principally the tender ofshot so...that's good, let see wath happen with flowering (i plan to cross the two plants in order to have f2 seeds that can show greather diversiti but if one of this two show perenniality i will clone it happily!)
