    Nicky's Nursery could not tell me if their Dinaosaur Kale seed was the same as Walking Stick Cabbage so I thought I'd better not take any chances and I've ordered it from Thompson & Morgan. Hopefully I'll get it in a couple of days then start posting it out.

    You are a star John... :thmb:

    Shame about Nicky's nursery as I have used them lots of times.... Whatever it takes though to set this up I think........ Shame about Nicky' Nurseries, but there we are no problems.... :gnthb: Thanks John.. :gnthb:

    Marley; Nicky's Nursery have always been good for me too. Apologies if I sounded a bit negative about them in the above post, that's not quite how I meant it. Basically when I rang them they couldn't guarantee their Dinosaur Kale seeds were the same variety as Jersey Walking Stick Cabbage, I think we are growing something slightly unusal to say the least! :gnthb:

    andrewh and Chopper I haven't heard from you, can you check your PMs please.

    I've posted out everyone else's seed envelopes today, hopefully you will soon receive approx 12 seeds plus photocopies of the seed packet growing instructions and "How to make your Walking Stick" instructions (same as the attachments below).

    If anyone else wants to join in there is plenty of time still :thumb:
