Grow all seeds! everyone!

[@HeavensEssentials]

I love Kale, I have to try this one. The stalks look like they could be dried out and possibly used for tomato stakes.

[@seedaholicgardens9085]

AGREED OR bean poles!

[@seedaholicgardens9085]

@Cary Howe ooohhhh

[@marksmall7790]

Just bought from you for 2023. Looking forward to growing this as my odd veggie for the year.

[@nancyfahey7518]

I have tree kale. It's starting to look like that. I'll remember to try making a walking stick when it's ready. It's a year and a half since planting the seed. Florida, afternoon shade in summer, full sun in winter. Its about 4' tall.

[@ZE308AC]

Let's start growing this in Jersey island. Let's make Jersey Island great again.

[@CCdesigner1217]

The last time I saw these growing was in a Berber village in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. They are amazing.

[@stacyc9775]

I just adore these walking stick kale! I'm growing some next season👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@unnamed2737]

I’m growing this kale right now and thousandhead!!

[@oceangran745]

I love that fact that fibre produced by the kale eating livestock is longer and silkier!

[@kaitlinsfamilyfarmstead]

So cool, Always looking for neat looking things to go in my garden. And we can eat it too! will have to add this for next year

[@wilrausure6901]

AWESOME. I want to try this one. I have your 2020 catalog and am enjoying matching up the things I find interesting with a vid here on KZbin to find out more on what I am interested in.

[@alittlethisalittle385]

I'm doing the same thing. Just looked at the catalog...saw the kale, now looking at the video to find out more about it before I order. 😊

[@probablynotdad6553]

Definitely gonna have to grab a pack of these seeds next year, been injured since last spring so I missed out on gardening and buying seeds for the past 2 years. Got some stuff to look forward to it seems.

[@mrjones4249]

Hope you get better and I know it's hard having to miss growing seasons.

[@probablynotdad6553]

@@mrjones4249 thank you, yeah it's certainly tough. Hoping to get back into the swing of it next year.

[@lauriesthought1231]

Alex, for $1000, I'll take... "What is my new favorite channel". 👩‍🌾🌱👨‍🌾

[@jamielynn7674]

I m SOOO happy you will have this! I have been SEARCHING for the seeds for AGES!!

[@Realatmx]

Where we can buy seeds?

[@mrjones4249]

I 've got a lot of cool stuff from Baker Creek and I'm looking forward to adding this to the list.

[@gaylecollins7367]

Great video! I love learning something new and I can hardly wait to order this!

[@classymom9047]

The stems can be used as trellis..

[@nancyfahey7518]

Got my seeds! Can't wait to get them going.

[@kendrabean2868]

How did they do??

[@benjaminnicholas5759]

Does kale like to be companion planted? I can imagine a lot of crops would love to climb those stems!

[@flaquis2729]

I would guess pole beans and peas would be happy.

[@chickasawmike1319]

Great idea, I will try the 3 sisters method with this kale instead of corn.

[@BaltimoresBerzerker]

So is this different from tree collard since it can grow true to seed? Amazing variety, a must try!

[@seedaholicgardens9085]

Juice the leaves gotta be superhealthy i imagine.

[@amanda69]

Hello thanks for this great video. I went to Baker Creek, but I couldn't find the seeds for sale? Are you going to have more for sale. Also I live in zone 8a will it live through the winter? Thanks

[@1982MCI]

It says in the description under the video that they hope to have it available in the 2020 catalog but you may ask them if you can preorder, I’m gonna call and ask about it

[@amanda69]

Thank you Don I didn't see that.

[@bencapozzi]

When will these seeds be available? Would love to get some going for winter greens for our poultry!

[@MonadicMind]

Great video thank you!

[@lettertube]

Mind Blown.

[@ldg2655]

Interesting!!!

[@PrincessShaBooBoo]

Good afternoon! Are these seeds available for sale? I would love to grow this variety.😊 Great video 👌🏾👩🏾‍🌾

[@emkn1479]

Is this similar to Asturian Tree Cabbage?

[@lew381]

I'm pretty sure it's the same I grew it this year in uk and it's identical and looking massive

[@emkn1479]

@@lew381 thank you!

[@myoldfarmhouse4316]

l want some of these Seeds! please let me know when you get them! thanks

[@RareSeedsBC]

Thank you! We expect to offer them in our 2020 catalogs.

[@TheStickGarden]

@@RareSeedsBC are the seeds for walking stick kale avilable right now in july 2020? I want to buy as many as i can get ahold of! This is the main crop i want to grow.

[@CarisseH]

Hello and thank you for sharing the info. I am curious, is it safe to feed to chickens? Thank you.

[@dickhead8775]

Yes, it is the same species as cabbage and kale.

[@wendyeames5758]

So, this is different from tree collards? I see so many different names for this type plant (walking stick cabbage, for one) that idk one from another

[@garrett1847]

They are mostly all the same thing, but some of them vary in growth and such / pretty much sub varieties while some are same

[@SteveSmekar-ll6ln]

A few years back, I had a collard green tree. I grew it in a pot and it went on for a few years till I had to move and gave it some nice lady. Made me a lot of food. I am trying to grow one of these from seed now. if anyone knows how to make it grow faster, I would love to know.

[@TacklingTheGiants]

Project tree collard sells them

[@1982MCI]

When will the 2020 catalog be available?

[@RareSeedsBC]

We are working on it now. Generally speaking, the pre-ordered Whole Seed Books are mailed directly from the printer in early November by bulk mail, and can take up to two weeks to arrive. The free edition is mailed directly from the printer around the end of November by bulk mail. Requests made after that time will be shipped in about 2 week intervals beginning the middle of December, directly from the printer by bulk mail. Requests made for the free catalog after the middle of December should usually take 4-6 weeks to receive. Keep an eye on rareseeds.com for info on how to pre-order the Whole Seed Catalog. Thanks so much!

[@fernandolara3008]

Can i get that right now or can i reserved a seed package?

[@elisabettaepiney9896]

We grow it Switzerland

[@kathleenh.596]

Such a fascinating story and plant! Now I want to grow this, just like every other seed story! Don't forget to 'like' and subscribe to Baker Creek's channel!

[@danielgallacher2591]

Whats the song?

[@RareSeedsBC]

We are not sure exactly which one you mean, but the credits for all the music is at the end of the video

[@danielgallacher2591]

RareSeeds awesome thank you !

[@billirogers3206]

Will this set seed before winter in zone 6

[@RareSeedsBC]

That can depend on a number of factors, kale is a biennial and typically will not bloom until the second years growth.

[@billirogers3206]

RareSeeds so im assuming it wont survive our mo. Winter so in order to set seeds i would need to grow one in a greenhouse, correct? Im thinking this would b excellent crop for goats and sheep.

[@portiaholliday8741]

This is beautiful BUT it is not "scaled" for the average "suburban" home. Sounds great FOR THE ISLANDERS! The walkings sticks are beautiful but I've been planting your Brunswick variety.

[@rachellestringer]

So.... probably couldn't grow this in GA, zone 7, huh?

[@RareSeedsBC]

Hi there! Walking Stick kale should grow as a perennial in your climate.

[@Seashells1234]

How come you don't sell seeds for walking stick kale?

[@garrett1847]

It should be coming early next year

[@catlindarnell2367]

Better get it before they sell out😅 Hope that takane purple buckwheat comes back soon.
