Growing Tips: Kale is one of the most cold weather hardy vegetables you can grow in your garden, and it is easy to propagate. Sow it directly outdoors right through July, and harvest young leaves for the best flavor and texture when mixing in salads.

Kale’s true flavor is sweet and pungent, but it is often harvested at the wrong time, when its eating quality is poor and its leaves are tough. Harvest the young leaves when they are at their most tender stage, and mix them in with other greens for an outstanding salad mix. Tear up small pieces. It adds a nice pungent flavor to any salad.
