Sea Kale on the move
7th September 2008, Sunday
Sea Kale has produced lots of seed (each the size of a large pea) this year and now is the season when it uses the wind and the sea to move from place to place, seeking new shingle habitat to colonise. In strong winds the brittle branches break away from the plant and “tumble” across the shingle. If the wind takes it towards the sea the branch will float and drift out to sea, perhaps heading for the shingle in the Baie de Somme across the channel.
