This kale is giving me Sideshow Bob vibes

Keep the rakes away from that kale.
Die Bart, die.
- Which of course translates to "The Bart, The".
  
  I have three kale varieties and they are all doing really well. My spinach on the other hand is getting ravaged by some bug/pest that i haven't figured out yet.
  
  Last year my kale got hit hard by aphids. I'm trying to avoid that this year by buying ladybugs.
Gorgeous. It'll make a delicious pesto sauce
- I've never heard of kale pesto before. Do you add it or substitute it with basil?
  
  Little of both. Use about half as much basil and as much kale as I can fet away with. I like to sub in toasted sunflower seeds for the pine nuts sometimes
Has some broccoli vibes too. I've only ever seen kale heads, like cabbage, never like this.
I don't know why but it gives me the heebie jeebies.
- Because it looks like the start of a kale fractal animation without end
