Plant from early spring to ~3 months before expected fall frost. For bunching, sow 3–4 seeds every 12–18\", ½\" deep, in rows at least 18\" apart. Thin to 1 plant per group. For baby leaf, sow tighter (60 seeds\/ft) in a 2–4\" wide band. If starting indoors, seedlings should be ready to transplant in 4 weeks. Kale prefers cooler growing temperatures, 55–75°F (13–24°C) as a minimum, optimal of 60–70°F (16–21°C), but will still produce in warm summer conditions. Consistent moisture will produce the best quality leaves. For fall crops start seedlings in May transplanting out in June–July. To ensure maturity, seed early in areas where heavy freezes occur early in fall. Can be grown successfully where winters are mild (temperatures rarely below 32°F\/0°C), transplanting out from September to February in such climates.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-formula=\"='2023-2024 SUBS'!R[-711]C[-1]\" data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":12527,\"3\":{\"1\":7},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16370588},\"5\":{\"1\":[{\"1\":2,\"2\":0,\"5\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0}},{\"1\":0,\"2\":0,\"3\":1},{\"1\":1,\"2\":0,\"4\":1}]},\"6\":{\"1\":[{\"1\":2,\"2\":0,\"5\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0}},{\"1\":0,\"2\":0,\"3\":1},{\"1\":1,\"2\":0,\"4\":1}]},\"8\":{\"1\":[{\"1\":2,\"2\":0,\"5\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0}},{\"1\":0,\"2\":0,\"3\":1},{\"1\":1,\"2\":0,\"4\":1}]},\"9\":1,\"10\":1,\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":9}' data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"Metchosin Farm’s original mix, selected from seedlings in our gardens since 2009.

I’ve been delighted to see some variegated white, lavender, and hot pink plants, which I've been encouraging.

It produces masses of long off-white roots that taste somewhat like a potato crossed with a carrot and a parsnip. They are great roasted, but can also be boiled, fried, stewed, added to soups, or eaten raw grated or out of hand. The roots do not need to be peeled, although some roots have a thin woody core that is easily removed by the diner after cooking. The spring shoots can be eaten, as well as the mature leaves, which taste like celery leaf or parsley.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf started early enough from seed, they can make large enough roots to eat by fall.
