Have you ever seen a kale tree? Well it isn't really a tree. I have been growing my kale for over 6 months. This is what happens when you harvest the leaves and continue to let the stalk grow in the center.
Unfortunately after allowing my kale tree to grow to about 3 feet, I must now "chop" it down. My kale tree has been over taken by aphids. I believe that last week I saw there little green slimy eggs and this week, these ashy black specks, perhaps their poop? I don't know. I read that I could just wash it off and spray my plants with water and a pest solution (homemade), but I don't want to chance eating this kale after all this pest junk has been living on it and eating it.
Well...what do you think?
