Easy to grow:kale

 WHEN TO PLANT

I always sow my seeds in pots as early in the season a possible. The reason is that I do not take up my land  with seeds and by planting larger stronger plants, I can harvest earlier.

Kale flourishes in cooler temperatures and does well in halfway shade and cloudy environments.

THE SOIL

I find that kale grows in almost any type of soil however do remember that kale is a hungry plant.

I feed mine twice in the life of the plant. I use compost and chicken dried pellets.

 

WATERING

Water your developing kale all through growing season; water sparingly in the autumn until frost.

Do not grow kale in the same ground for three years.

I harvest as soon as the leaves are big enough to do something with.

The only pest that trouble mine are pigeons and so I spread nets over them.
