Gene:  I bet the pictures will be wonderful - You should talk with your photo 
man and see if there is a way to put the slides on CD, these photos sound 
like they would be a great addition to your website.  So many sites are 
dedicated to just the growing season, not so much for when the frost 
comes.......so much beauty to be seen in the garden when there is ice 
dangling (as you know, I don't get to see this in my garden here in SE 
Texas).

>>>>The ornamental kale<<<


This year I purchased a new variety (new to me) of ornamental Kale, 'Redbor'. 
 This is a really beautiful Kale, I saw it last year planted in the display 
beds of one of my favorite nurseries.  Large, deep red ruffled leaves....I 
planted these out with my Foxgloves (which will bloom in the spring and die 
late May, early June).  Unfortunately, we have had an excessive amount of 
rain lately - almost 2 full weeks without seeing any sunshine.  Then we had a 
nice break for 4 days and now the rain is back.  Half of what I planted 
appears to have died of crown rot.  I will have to see about getting more of 
these sometime this month - they look great planted out with the Red Swiss 
Chard and Blue Lobelia.

I found a picture of the Kale 'Redbor' on the net, take a look--
