Scientific Name | Brassica oleracea |
Growing Days | 50-65 |
Varieties We Grow | Red Russian, Siberian, Lacinato |
Growing Notes | Kale is a hardy plant and if you keep cutting it, it will keep growing! |
Battle of the Bugs | Cabbage loopers/moths/worms are terribly destructive. We check the leaves daily and try to remove any of the buggers as soon as we see them. Miss a day and you’ll lose those great leaves…even checking we still do. |
Fun Fact | Kale can survive temperatures well below freezing and it gets sweeter from a frost or two (it gets bitter in hot temps), so it’s a great winter veggie! |
Don’t Waste It! | Steam, roast, bake, stir-fry…it’s all delicious! |
