I've just discovered that Marshalls is now selling seakale thongs. I have been looking for somewhere to buy these for years as I'd love to grow seakale - it's one of those things that you can't find in the supermarket or even farm shops or box schemes, so it really is something to try at home - and reputedly delicious.
Anyone grow seakale and can offer some growing tips?
Blimey, I bet they're uncomfortable.

Before I knew anything about the plant I tried some of the leaves I found growing wild. I don't suggest doing that, they didn't taste nice.
I found this in a 150 year old gardening book:

If you ever want some seeds, let me know, I can collect some for you. I know where it's growing wild near me.
I hope you post about how it goes and what they taste like. I don't really know anything about them.
