Kale is a cold-hardy green that can be planted early in the spring. It can also be planted in the fall in most areas and sometimes in the winter too.
Start seeds as soon as the ground can be worked. The soil temperature should not be above 70F. Sow seeds 1/2" deep and thin them when they reach 2-3" tall per the spacing instructions. Weed carefully as they have shallow roots.
Leaves can be harvested at 4-5" or taller. If they get too large, they will become bitter. Pick leaves off individually and the plant will continue to produce more, for months!
