Kale and Dandilion greens was my absolute favorite veggies as child, I'd put apple cider vinegar on it cooked. I'm 55 now and never had a clue that Kale wasn't always popular. Lol.
I'll stick to lettuce and other soft leafy greens. Kale is too hardy, it's like eating a bush. LOL
Can I do this with red Russian kale? I’ve got so much!
Had to subscribe to your channel again. YouTube is really being awful about unsubscribing me from channels I had previously subbed to. So annoying. No wonder my subscription feed is not as great as I remember it being.
Kale has always been very popular in The Netherlands not just now that its trendy. Its part of our staple winter comfort food. If you think winter you think "boerenkool". They tend to let the frost go over it before harvesting.
Red Ursa is gorgeous.
Hardiness zone 7b here and I grew Cavolo nero (Tuscan kale) for the first time. It's been producing all summer long and is still going strong now in fall. Exceptional taste, cooks down much faster than other kale, dark green color after cooking. A winner, can only recommend! Also since you're always harvesting the bottom leaves, by the end of summer it will look like a palm tree, it's a gorgeous plant, mine are easily 1.5m tall by now (grown in containers on a rooftop)
Kale sucks!!! We grew this on the farm in the 70's People call us nuts. I hate the stuff, but it is very good for you so find a way to eat it
Why didnt you tell us about moringa Kevin?
Most of my kale seems to overwinter here in Rhode Island zone 6a. We can get temps down to the single digits and even occasionally below zero (rare), but most of the plants will survive, which is really nice in February and March when not much is growing yet, you can have nice, tender greens! Sometimes it will drop its leaves and seem to die, but in the spring it starts sprouting again. One kale you did not mention is Portuguese kale. I grew it for the first time this summer with the hope of using it in soups, but unfortunately it seems exceptionally tasty to cabbage butterflies here in my climate, so I will stick with my dinosaur, curly and Red Russian varieties.
I am new in growing kale , I have got seedlings of Chinese kale, and would like to grow them. Thankyou for your tips.
The Red Ursa kale is a hybrid between Siberian and Red Russian kale. So would that be Brassica oleracea x napus? Also have you heard of Sea Kale? Is it any good?
Wait they are seed tours? You know how many seeds I have collected over my life and plants I have grown from seed when it wasn't supposed to be possible
Wait I sent that comment too soon…they have seed tours…I need to go 9n a seed tour!
Blessed Good Afternoon, I'm growing Tuscan Kale will sure try some different varieties.
I still don't like it but I know it is good for me. lol
Halo sir were to buy the seed of the russian kale
which one is the least crunchy kale for salad. I need to take more of it but do not like the thick leaves. tks for h elping.
I very much appreciate how you break your videos into sections. Lets me skip to the pieces that are relevant to me.
Everything you wanted to know about kale, but were afraid to ask…
Handsome guy's like: "What can't I make a living doing? Videos on gardening! Oops, wrong again!"
Red russian kale just grows so well in my garden that I don't want to bother trying any other variety due to space, haha. Even tho I'm in zone 3a, a couple of my kale plants actually overwintered outside, so i'll get some flowers and free seeds I think!!! that variety does take alot of space though!
Here in Central Florida I grow ornamental kale curly kale Siberian kale and red Russian kale ornamental kale is so good when making kale chips I think I've tried the black kale you were referring to
Where can I find information on the black magic kale from your friends site thank you
I planted a lot of red russian kale, they are bigger now but the stems are just slightly purplish and some are just still plain green. Is there a reason why some of the red tinge color is not as dark? Thank you 🙂
Pls try to plan casper kale. It was too difficult to me to grow
