Planting Instructions
Timing: Start sowing kale seeds outdoors in early spring for a spring crop or in late summer for a fall crop. Kale prefers cooler temperatures and can tolerate light frost.
Soil Preparation: Choose well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Amend with compost or aged manure for optimal growth.
Sowing Depth: Plant kale seeds about 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep in rows or containers. Keep the soil evenly moist until germination, which usually occurs within 7-14 days.
Sunlight: Kale prefers full sun to partial shade. Provide afternoon shade in hot summer months to prevent wilting.
Spacing: Thin seedlings to proper spacing based on the kale variety. Allow enough room for the plants to grow and develop healthy leaves.
Growing and Care
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells. Water at the base of the plants to prevent fungal diseases.
Fertilization: Use a balanced organic fertilizer or compost before planting and side-dress with compost during the growing season for optimal growth and nutrient uptake.
Pest and Disease Management: Monitor for pests like aphids, cabbage worms, and slugs. Use organic pest control methods such as handpicking, neem oil, or insecticidal soap as needed.
Harvesting
Timing: Harvest kale leaves when they reach the desired size and texture. For young kale leaves, you can start harvesting outer leaves as soon as they are large enough to use.
Method: Use scissors or garden shears to cut kale leaves from the outer part of the plant, allowing the inner leaves to continue growing for future harvests.
