Kale, in the main is a winter crop and most farmers get three crops off of one plant.
What they do is strip the plant to the top, leaving two or three leaves and a couple of months later they do the same again.
However what we do as gardeners, is pick a few leaves every now and then. Because I eat kale every day, I pick leaves every day making sure that I also remove any leaves that are going yellow.
You can strip the plant, just like farmers do, and freeze the leaves. This is much better for the plant and you will get more of it.
Do not cut the leaf, break the it off, this will stop disease.
