Sea kale can be tricky to germinate. Did you cold stratify them? I got seeds from Experimental Farm Network last year and they did really well. You have to crack the corky part open first. There's probably a more clever way to do it, but I think I just used my teeth. Once you get that shell opened, you put them in a damp paper towel in a sealed bag in the fridge for a few weeks. I don't think it would be too late to start now and plant them out in the Fall for a second try. Sea Kale is so good it's worth all the trouble!
