Kale, Dwarf Blue Curled Scotch, Heirloom, NON-GMO Kale Seed, 250 Seed Pack

Includes 250 Seeds

When to Plant:

• Kale can be planted at any time, from early spring to early summer. Be mindful, as hot weather makes kale bitter.
• If planted late in the summer, you can harvest it from fall until the ground freezes.

How to Grow:

• Plant ¼ to ½ inch deep in an area with well-drained, loamy soil.
• If planting in cool season, select an area that will get full sun. Choose partial shade if growing in the warm season.
• Seeds will sprout best in soil around 70 degrees F.
• After 2 weeks, thin seedlings so they are spaced 8 to 12 inches apart.
• Water the plants regularly, but take care not to over water.
• Mulch the soil heavily after first freeze.

When to Harvest:

• Kale is ready to harvest when the leaves are about the size of your hands.
• Avoid picking the terminal bud at the top center of the plant, as this will keep the plant productive.
• Only pick about a fistful of leaves per harvest.
• Kale grows until it’s about 20 degrees F - a touch of frost actually sweetens the flavor.
