Kale Red Russian

Description

Kale Borecole Heirloom Red Russian Growing Instructions

Plant from early spring as soon as you can work the ground or in autumn for an over-winter crop.

Sow 1cm deep, 2.5cm apart in rows 45-75cm apart.

Thin seedlings to 20-30cm apart which can be transplanted or eaten.

Kale germinates best in cool or warm soil temperatures with even moisture.

Choose an area with full sun.

Enrich the soil with compost or well-rotted manure.

Harvest leaves from the outside of the plant first.

Kale is very hardy and quality actually improves after a frost.
