  • Watering

    Kale thrives in consistently moist soil. Water the plants when the top inch of the soil is dry to the touch, providing a thorough and even watering. Ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogging, as kale plants prefer well-drained conditions. Regular, moderate watering will contribute to the healthy growth of your kale.

  • Harvesting

    To harvest kale begin by cutting mature leaves at the base, leaving the smaller inner leaves to encourage ongoing development. Use sharp scissors or shears to make clean cuts without damaging the plant. Regular harvesting of outer leaves promotes a longer harvest period, and it's recommended to harvest before the leaves become too mature for the best flavor and tenderness.

  • Culinary/ Uses

    Kale can be used fresh in salads, or sautéed.
