It looks more like a Brussels Sprout than my plants, but then there's a wide range of these perennial kales around on the continent. Does anyone know where he got it?

You are right Robert there seems to be a wide range of these perennial kales around alright.
Cesar can you get a photo of your Couve Tronchuda Asa de Cantaro on here?
Certainly your daubenton looks nothing like mine Cortona

Whatever your plants may be, Cortona, they are very free of insect damage; congratulations. My Brassicas, in general, are full of insect holes; despite which, my Superschmelz kohlrabi are getting to bowling-ball size.

about the lack of pest damage, i've find some butterfly eggs and readily eliminate it manually, so probably that is the reason, but i've noticed the mostly part of my brassica are pest free

Cesar can you get a photo of your Couve Tronchuda Asa de Cantaro on here? Sorry Richard, I pulled out my Asa de Cantaro because it did not flower for four years. I never thought that perenniality is special. It had the same stem structure as yours. I still do have seeds and would plant some for later comparison. Cesar |

Also I have very old Daubenton seeds (1985) which I tried to germinate without success. Cesar No worries Cesar,i'm sure that Couve Tronchuda Asa de Cantaro is different to my strain of Daubenton,looking up images of Couve Tronchuda Asa de Cantaro it grows a heart where mine doesn't,the leafs look so alike though. |

We grow brassicas in both the fall for overwintering, and in the spring. The fall ones are unscathed by bugs, but the spring ones are usually pretty damaged. I just think of it as holy kale.
