Walking Stick Kale also known as Jersey Kale

OK this looks similar to the pictures of Asturian Tree Cabbage. Is it the same thing or closely related.

I come from Jersey, In the Channel Islands, and am told by elderly relatives that you must pick off the lower leaves as fodder for your cattle, and wait two years before it reaches 10 feet. Then you must harvest the stalk and leave it a few years to dry before you sand it down and varnish it. I believe that there may be a few growers of the crop left here, but do not know for certain. I am going to try to grow it next year, and I shall see what happens.

@D0MJSY Seems like alot of trouble when I could just cut a branch off a tree for a walking stick.

Also know as Jersey Cabbage. (Myself and my wife grow and sell the sticks and seeds hear Jersey, Channel Islands) Our animals like the leaves, remember to pick the leaves off as they grow or they will not get much over 4 feet. Ours reach 6 to 10 feet high. Search Philip and Jacquelyn Jersey Sticks on google.

Lemon cucumber? Wow. I was told cucumber is actually in the melon family, a fruit., is that true? I try to combine like fruits so maybe I can add some cucumber to my melon meal. Envy your garden, a lot of work went into planning it I'm sure. May you be well rewarded! Peace~

Yes, Cucumbers are in the melon family. There are more varieites of cucumbers than we realize. I grew about 10 different varities this year.
