Bits and pieces around the yard

Kale everywhere this year, the kids have already voiced their opinion and protested at the idea of eating it regularly. I really like kale leaf in salad but sautéed with a little butte rand garlic it's delicious. Children are always the worst critics.
Our early purple turnips are really powering along, I'll be cooking a curry with this lot before too long.
Chou moullier kale which appears to be more cabbage then not is starting to grow I am curious to see how it grows. There has been much talk about kale and when to plant in Brisbane, I noticed that a couple online planting guides tell us to plant in January. It needs cool nights to get sweetness in the leaf, don't grow it over summer, it will grow quick but gets bitter so quickly with limited water and too much heat.
