@helioscomm @AdaptiveSeeds You certainly sound like a PNWer! I don't know the Salt Spring accession. Fascinating the way these OP cultivars can sometimes be restored to their former glory or improved, over time, through sound stewardship. Adaptive certainly improved 'Gulag Stars', also bred by Tim Peters.

Quoted by4/ 'Simone Broadleaf' is a vigorous, highly diverse kale population from @AdaptiveSeeds selected out of Tim Peters’ distinctive interspecific (B. napus x B. rapa) creation, 'Gulag Stars’. When winter cropping, I go with Gulag Stars in greenhouses, and Simone Broadleaf in field.
