Kale is the undisputed king of the winter vegetable garden! Nutrient-packed and remarkably hardy, it’ll carry on cropping throughout the coldest months and on into spring.
The best-looking of the brassicas, kale is a valuable addition to a potager or ornamental border as well as vegetable gardens.
In this short video we’ll shown you how to sow, plant, care for and harvest this stunning vegetable.

Grew it last season but it did get eaten a lot by slugs. A possum has shown up this fall though so I am hoping they will start eating the slugs. We also had tonnes of raccoons so they should have also been eating them. I guess we have a lot of slugs.
Ready to harvest! If the kale has some of the white stuff, that those still be eaten? Do you just cut that part of or wash it off?
My kale seeds under grow lights are getting laggy
Better yet, when it flowers, SAVE THE SEEDS
It grows perfectly in Bengkulu. I live in coastal area where the temperature is mostly 30 C everyday.
lovely thank you!
Cheers, love Kale
Hi there, I'm new to gardening and I feel watching your videos and others like yours have helped me understand how gardening works. Very informative and gsrdeninb for me has become very therapeutic. I have stsrted growing kale and its starting to look pretty good but the stems are still quite thing.. Will this change over time and what can I do to increase its healthy growth. I've been using chicken manure pellets and am just waiting for the soil to become more enriched
yes tried Kale hope to grow more for winter, first time gardiner
I plan to grow red kale in 2022.
I accidentally overcrowded the seedling starter pods. There are 10 sprouts in each little square. Is there any saving this?
I planted kale, red cabbage and green cabbage in the south west-facing polytunnel in October. It has hardly grown. I live in southern France. Clay soil but enriched with lots of pine wood-chips to improve soil structure so I wonder if soil now too acid. Any advice please to make it actually grow?
Hardiness zone 8A
Thank you
yesss I'm super excited to grow kale this year!

Great video! Your Kale is amazing. I am planning on sowing dinosaur Kale for the first time. We get about 10 days of snow/hail per year and several months of frost. It is now almost March and this seems too early, so here is my question: Can I start them from seeds now indoors and then move them outside, and at what point can I move them outside? Thank you
I planted Kale for the first-time last fall and only got to pick it one time. Deer also like to eat kale and found my patch of it. From now on I'll use the fabric Tulle to cover it from them as well as others who enjoy using/eating it. I saw that I have tiny sprouts of it in my winter sowing container so will try it again this spring and also start more seeds for this fall.
Cpuld you have collected seeds from those yellow flowers? Could the kale have grown the next year also?
Does kale need space for deep roots? You may have said and I missed it. I’m growing kale for the first time this year.
Added question. Sorry. I’m also growing some Chinese cabbage about which I know nothing. Can I put it near or in with the kale?
In one of my gardening books it says to take the central leaves first to encourage side shoots?? I'm growing the tall Nero toscana variety but I've always taken leaves from the bottom like in your video
I did my first garden this year (50sqft raised bed) I planted 4 kale that I bought at a nursery. They are still doing amazing and its almsot August. We love kale chips , in our salad and the chickens LOVE it as a treat !
I sewed kale seeds about 2 weeks ago, early August. Looking forward to seeing how this gets on as a winter veg.
I love black kale, but I find pigeons and caterpillars absolutely love their tasty tender leaves. Also , where i live, in Wiltshire, in a frost [pocket, i find it isn't that hardy and i lost the whole crop this winter (2022/2023). I did however sow and grow kalettes which have proven very hardy and have cropped profusely from just 6 plants. This was the first time i've ever grown them, so hope it wasn't just beginner's luck, ha ha. I will definitely grow them again this year. Would the curly kales prove more hardy in my location do you think, and if so are some varieties more tender tahn others? Thank you for your help 🙂
Can I grow it from seeds now in late winter?
Can the sowing happen outside, I dont have a lot of light inside
Can I grow kale and onion together?
I overwinter my kale and then I set it out to bulk up and I have a lot of problems of slugs so I’m putting gravel around the base with some copper. And I have these kind of sticks but I’ve discovered that I can trim that back and leaves will start to come back out at the base and even get a second stem so they are very hearty they can be a year-round crop if you bring them in and they do pretty well even in the winter but they don’t grow as fast because there’s not as much light. But I have it for salads and soups
