Growing at a glance…
This seed can be sown all year round indoors. Sow outdoors from April to September. Sow 1-2cm deep, 1cm apart in rows and spaced 50-60cm apart. Thin seedlings to 20-25cm apart when transplanting. Kale germinates best in cooler to mild soil temperatures with even moisture. Choose an area that reaches plenty of sun and has a soil pH of 6.0-7.0. If needed, enrich the soil with compost or well-rotted manure. Harvest by clipping individual leaves toward the base.
