Additional information

Green Curled Kale features decorative green curled leaves. The tasty leaves may be boiled as greens or chopped fresh for salads when young. Kale is superior to most vegetables in protein, vitamin and mineral content. It's also a cool weather crop that is slow to bolt.

Growing Kale from Seed

Direct sow in early spring to mid-summer for summer to winter harvests. Or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost, and transplant out as soon as the soil warms up.

Optimal soil temperature: 10-30°C (50-85°F). Seeds should germinate in 7-10 days.

Kale and collards can both be grown as a cut and come again crop for salad mixes by direct-seeding and cutting baby leaves. They will re-grow if you pick leaves from the bottom up, as you need them. Continue harvesting lower leaves as they mature-plants will keep producing all season.

Kale can overwinter in many areas. In fact, the leaves get sweeter after frost, though growth will slow. In spring, the surviving plants start to flower.

Companion Planting For Kale

All Brassicas benefit from chamomile, dill, mint, rosemary, and sage.

Avoid planting near eggplants, peppers, potatoes, or tomatoes, as the acidic soil these plants thrive in can cause problems for Brassicas.
