I appear to have accidentally sprouted a bunch of Japanese Kale seeds (left
in the greenhouse, they've fallen off the shelf and into a puddle - mostly
germinated, and the label is unreadable).
Which means I now can't read the instructions. Is there any hope for them
if I try to overwinter them? Iirc, last time I grew them in early spring.

Looks as if you have no choice but to grow it on,
I'd try some in pots, some planted out under a poly closh or similar,
experement, what have you to loose,
As long as you have 6 to 8 weeks before frost for them to get
established you should be OK.

This is true. But if there was no hope, I might have just thrown it away at
this point. :-}

*nod* I've potted it into soil, it may die immediately anyhow, but I'll
watch and see.
