Collards, kale

Brassica oleracea acephala

Fruits and Vegetables

Sow indoors, 6 weeks before last frost, or outdoors 3 weeks later, 1/2" deep. Harden off and transplant indoor-started specimens when soil temperature has reached 50F/10C, or some 3 weeks before last frost. Sink plants slightly below soil level, 12" apart, in rich well-drained soil

Kale is cold-tolerant and may be sown again in early summer, some 3 months before first fall frost, for fall and winter harvesting, when it tastes best. Do not overfeed with nitrogenous material
