PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Kale Westland Winter is a picture perfect kale variety with an abundance of blue-green curly leaves. Flavor is sweet with a characteristic hint of iron. It forms a large, spreading plant that is particularly hardy and highly resistant to even severe frost. In fact, frost exposure gives leaves an even sweeter taste.

How to grow Kale from seeds
When to Plant:
Kale can be planted at any time, from early spring to early summer. Be mindful, as hot weather makes kale bitter. If planted late in the summer, you can harvest it from fall until the ground freezes.
How to Grow:
Plant in an area with well-drained, loamy soil.
If planting in cool season, select an area that will get full sun. Choose partial shade if growing in the warm season.
Water the plants regularly, but take care not to over water.
Mulch the soil heavily after first freeze. Plants can produce leaves throughout the winter.
When to Harvest:
Kale is ready to harvest when the leaves are about the size of your hands.
Avoid picking the terminal bud at the top center of the plant, as this will keep the plant productive. Only pick about a fistful of leaves per harvest.
Kale grows until it’s about 20 degrees F - a touch of frost actually sweetens the flavor.
