This was originally a wide cross between commercial varieties planted in a trial at Midori Farm many years ago. That winter saw a hard cold snap, many of the plants died, but the survivors were the original parents of this diverse overwintering sprouting broccoli line.

In 2015, this kale started off my love of seeds and is my first plant breeding experiment.  From a wonderfully fun kale breeding project with seed friend Ryan Wheeler this variety emerged from many different winter kales that cross pollinated for three seasons in a row until the genetics mostly settled on this leaf shape and color.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWild Dreams Kale grows best as a winter kale as it gets sweet and bounces back after a frost, holds well through the soggy winter months to emerge strong in the Spring with new growth and abundant florets for seed production and snacking. This kale easily naturalized on the farm and pops up everywhere producing a marketable crop that I do nothing to start. They grow when they are ready and I thank them every day!
