Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation required. Kale seeds are easy to handle and plant directly.

Sowing:

Direct Sowing: Sow seeds directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Plant seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep, spaced 12-18 inches apart in rows spaced 18-24 inches apart.
Indoor Sowing: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds in seed trays or pots filled with seed-starting mix, 1/4 inch deep.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 5-10 days.
Maintain a soil temperature of 60-70°F (16-21°C) during the germination period.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Transplanting:

Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and they have at least 2-3 true leaves.
Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week.
Space seedlings 12-18 inches apart in rows spaced 18-24 inches apart.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Water at the base of the plants to avoid wetting the leaves.
Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Harvesting: Harvest leaves from the bottom of the plant as they reach a usable size, leaving the top growing point intact for continuous production. Kale can be harvested throughout the growing season and can withstand light frosts, which can improve its flavor.
