Growing Notes Kale is a hardy plant and if you keep cutting it, it will keep growing!
Battle of the BugsCabbage 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 FactKale 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!
