Kale - Dwarf Blue Curled
The Kale Dwarf Blue Curled, 'Brassica oleraceae (Acephala)', is very nutritious, tasty, and simple to grow. Add the Dwarf Ble Curled Kale to soup, or stir-fry or steam. Dwarf Blue Curled Kale is extremely hardy and will overwinter in all but the coldest climates. Like most "green", it grows best in cool weather but will also withstand some heat. The flavor of this "cut and come again" crop is actually improved by frost. You will really enjoy the flavor of Kale in winter soups. Plant in the spring, 4 weeks before the last expected frost or 10 to 12 weeks before first fall frost. Kale tastes best when grown in the fall. The soil needs to be well drained and have lots of organic matter. Kale can be harvested by cutting off the entire plant or by periodically stripping off the lower leaves. ... additional info
