Pure cash somehow, but that isn't a point.
Pure cash somehow, but that isn't a point. Peeling seeds out of dry Red Russian Kale fruit is super easy and calming mind and fingers, too. Brassica oleracea Acephala that is. Nutritional value of leaves and seeds = GREAT btw. Each of the fruit contains approx. 20 seeds (a very conservative estimate).
Buying suchg seeds online costs between 2.29£ per 400 seeds or even 2.99€ per 80 seeds here, plus shipping. The latter amounts to a kilo price of more than 8K €. Oh yeah.
Anyone in Berlin Wedding wants some for free? Just one plant on my window sill is great to have already, and of course in am open to edible other things, if you have some.
Harvesting image - a bit blurry.

Here's a leaf. They taste a little salty, mild, in fact quite different from classical Kale, like [!red russian kale leaf IMG_20240421_180619.jpg](https://hub.kliklak.net/photos/jrp/image/e6692aa7-d6ed-4fc6-92ac-4ff6771a2e80)
4th floor window gardening, Red Russian Kale explodes to bloom soon. It basically grew 400% in just 4 weeks. What a bomb of a plant!

After finding out about a month ago that the garden spot I was planting in down at my in-laws' place was essentially clay hardpan I finally decide to look at what's in the backyard at the new place and this is what I find. It's a true loam.
Not a sandy loam, not a clay loam, just pure loam. It's the perfect garden soil just like it is and it seems to keep going for as deep as I dig. It's really a gift. I've got a lot of sod to remove unfortunately but that can be done.
This may be the last day lily as well. These were here when we moved in. I've really enjoyed them. (https://mastodon.social/tags/gardening) (https://a.gup.pe/u/gardening)

To think this spring I had a lot of problems with them and only two plants survived! Well...they survived and now they are happily producing far more cucumbers than I can handle!

My first #sixonsaturday post. These are all day lilies that are blooming in the #garden this morning. I think we have around 14-16 varieties so far this year. (I should probably go out and count them :ablobgrin: ) @gardening #gardening #bloomscrolling #florespondence #daylily
Here’s mine. Letting the grass grow certainly hasn’t stopped the flowers blooming. (https://mastodon.scot/tags/SixOnSaturday) (https://mastodon.scot/tags/BloomScrollin

@BarbNerdy 🐿️ Nee nur relaxen. Ich bin im "Home Office", das kann ich auch von dort machen.
(Nehme Samen mit)
@jrp zum Sommercamp?
Gerne auch vorher kurz mal zu Mittag oder so?
@BarbNerdy 🐿️ Geht auch ohne Tausch. Aber mache mich bald auf ins THal.
@jrp ich hab dieses Jahr leider gar nix zum Tauschen. Evt. ein paar große Mohnblumen Samen...
@BarbNerdy 🐿️ Auch gerne :) Hast Du zufällig Thymiansamen, Salbeisamen, Oreganosamen? Ich habe bald auch noch Calendula - Blätter und Blüten sind ein Genuß, und antioxi usw.
@margaretgarigan @gardening Ahead of mine. Looks fantastic.
@thrawn21 Romas are a whole new world for me — as is gardening where I am. Thanks for the information!
@thrawn21 Oh dear, I hadn’t even thought of that possibility — that they wouldn’t taste good. It’s surprising to me how difficult Romas seem to be. What part of the world are you in?
@ScotHomestead @gardening what’s the red flower on lower right? Saw a whole block of it at Rossie recently.
@margaretgarigan @gardening I’ve grown bushels upon bushels of gorgeous heirloom tomatoes in the last 10 years, but I’ve never been able to get more than a handful of romas each year.
