Planting & Care

Sow seeds directly in the garden in early spring or late summer for a fall crop. Plant seeds about 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to allow for healthy growth. Kale prefers cooler temperatures and may become bitter in extreme heat.

Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest outer leaves first to encourage continued production. Monitor for common pests like aphids and cabbage worms, and use row covers if necessary.
