INTRODUCING KALE SEEDS
Kale is a power plant of nutritional goodness. As a cherished member of the cabbage family, it is highly prized for its health benefits. With high levels of vitamins A, C, and K, combined with minerals like calcium and iron, kale is a perfect garden crop for a healthy garden. It’s been cultivated in Europe for a long time, and today, kale is used worldwide. Kale can be grown in USDA hardiness zones 2 to 9. Its tolerance to cold temperatures allows for an extended harvest—often well into winter in milder climates.
HOW TO PLANT KALE SEEDS
Growing kale is easy to do. You can sow your seeds directly outside in early spring or late summer for an autumn harvest. For an early start on the growing season, you can also your seeds indoors, around 6 weeks before the final frost. Plant the seeds 1/4 inch deep and space according to the needs of the variety you’re growing. Kale seeds germinate quickly, generally within 5 to 10 days. Plant a new round of seeds every few weeks to secure a continuous supply.
MAINTAINING KALE PLANTS
Kale plants need regular watering to develop their tender leaves. To retain soil moisture and keep the roots cool, use mulch around the plants. Mix in some compost for added soil nutrients prior to sowing or transplanting. You can pick kale early as a baby salad green, which can help you thin out your plantings. For a more mature harvest, start picking once the leaves are about 4 inches long. Pick the outer leaves first and the center will continue to grow. Kale is relatively resistant to pests, but can occasionally have issues with cabbage loopers.
