Kay Plot 23 suggested this post in an email. Here is her email


Quite a while ago you put a message onto the Allotment website telling people I had spare Sutherland Kale seed for anyone who wanted some.  Well,  it went a bit vital and I have been inundated with requests for seed from all over the UK and Sweden.  I don’t have any left but I have been redirecting people to ‘The Real Seed Company’ which is where I got my original seed from.

Anyway, I have now had an email followed by a phone call today from a freelance journalist writing a piece on Sutherland Kale for the Sunday Post.  She wanted to know more but most of all she would like a photograph of the plant with a grower alongside.  I have no photos of me with Kale but wondered if there might be anything in the Garthdee Allotment photo archive or if you would be willing to put out a call to allotmenteers for any photos they may have?

Here name is Dawn Thompson

Many thanks
