    Just sorted that Ragged Jack is same as Red Russian and may also be referred to as for Hungry Gap.

      It is not a true kale Veg, but a mustard family but most people group it in because of it's winter hardiness.

        I grow the dwarf curled. Takes up less space in a garden plot but it's really tasty.
        Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

          Cavalo de Nero
          Black Tuscan/Nero di Toscana *
          Red Russian/Red Ursa (as in Real Seeds)
          Ragged Jack/Hungry Gap
          Pentland Brig *
          Sutherland Kale *


          Those with asterisk are the ones I get to try this year .
          Cavalo De Nero is also called Black Tuscan/ Nero di Toscano.

          Ragged Jack is Red russian Kale ( perhaps also called Hungry Gap ).

          Certain seeds company tend to use new names, check it out before ordering or you will end up with same seeds .
