Kale is a part of the Brassicaceae family, including collard greens, wild cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts. Kale is a cruciferous vegetable because there are four petals on the flower, and they resemble a Greek cross! If your kale leaves seem a little tough, massage them like you would knead dough. You can also shred it into thin stripes to break down the fibrous tissue to make it more tender to eat.

FertilizingMonthly

Use an organic granular fertilizer high in nitrogen or a top dressing of compost for healthy growth and mix it into the soil around the base of the plant. Scratch the surface and apply. Avoid spilling fertilizer on the plant's leaves, or they could burn. If using water-soluble, pour it around the plant's base but avoid spilling it on the leaves.
Re-pottingRarely

Before moving your kale seedlings outside, you will need to let them 'harden off' for two weeks to acclimate to your area. Set them outdoors in a protected porch with bright, indirect light away from the wind. Set them out four weeks before the last spring frost in your planting zone. Continue to keep the seedlings moist but not soggy. Never let them dry out. Gradually move them to more exposure after the second week. If a hard freeze is predicted, bring them indoors for protection. After the two-week acclimation is over, dig planting holes the same size, width, and height as the grower pot. Next, add some rooting hormone at the base and place your seedling out of the grower pot into the hole and water. Then backfill the holes with native soil mixed with compost or amendments. Be careful not to bury the stems deeper than previously planted in the grower pots, as this can rot the plant. Finally, plant your kale seedlings a 18-24" apart to allow growth and air circulation.
CleaningAs needed

Regularly harvest your leaves when the oldest ones get the size of your palm. When harvesting leaves, clip the largest and oldest from the base of the plant. Harvesting these will help prevent the kale from bolting (going to seed and becoming bitter). Avoid pruning the center of the plant called the terminal bud to maintain the plant growing new leaves.
