Growing Instructions

Starting your seeds

You can start Kale seeds indoors using a heat mat to encourage germination. Once the seedlings sprout and grow a few sets of leaves, move them outdoors. Keep the soil moist and provide 6–8 hours of sunlight daily. When direct sowing Kale seeds, plant them about 1/4 inch deep in well-drained soil, spacing them 12–18 inches apart in rows 18–24 inches apart to give them plenty of space to grow.

Harvesting your seeds

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.
