Commonly Asked Questions
What is the best month to plant kale?
Set out kale plants in spring 3 to 5 weeks before the last frost. You can begin planting in late summer, 6 to 8 weeks before the first frost, for autumn and winter harvests. In zones 8, 9, and 10, you can continue planting throughout the autumn.
Does kale come back every year?
In USDA Hardiness Zones 7 to 10, biennial kale will continue to produce edible leaves throughout the winter. In colder zones, the plants may go dormant, but their root systems will remain alive.
Does kale like sun or shade?
Kale prefers rich, well-drained soil and can grow in most soil types and conditions. It likes sunlight but will also tolerate light shade. Enhance soil quality by incorporating well-rotted manure or garden compost.
Where is the best place to plant kale?
Plant kale in a sunny location with fertile, well-drained soil. Enhance the area with organic matter and a complete fertiliser before planting. Space seeds ¼-½ inch deep, and thin seedlings or transplant 12-18 inches apart, with rows 2 feet apart.
Does kale regrow after cutting?
Kale is designed to continue producing leaves even after harvesting. Instead of cutting the stems or root, pick the leaves you want by cutting at the base of each leaf, leaving the rest of the plant intact for future growth.
Kale 'Red Russian' offers tender, sweet leaves with a hint of nuttiness. Perfect for fresh salads, smoothies, and cooking, this variety is known for its cold tolerance and high nutrient content.
