Planting Kale: Tips 'n' Tricks
Get ready to roll up those sleeves and welcome spring with some kale planting! Here's Glen's plan of action:
- Start your kale seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost, so they are strong enough to face the outdoor environment come transplanting time.
- Transplant seedlings when they're about 4-6 weeks old – perfect timing to acclimate them to their outdoor home!
- Sow seeds directly into the soil around mid-March to early April, ensuring it's enriched and well-drained for optimal growth.
- Don't forget to mulch! A light layer of mulch helps hold moisture, suppresses weeds, and maintains temperature balance.
