Question 1

How do I grow kale from seed?

Accepted Answer

Sow indoors or directly outside from early spring. Keep soil moist and harvest leaves as they mature. Sow two seeds in small holes within firm, prepared soil and cover lightly. Keep the soil moist and place the seeds in a warm, sunny spot to encourage germination during the early months of the year. Seedlings usually appear in 5–10 days. Sow from January to August.

Question 2

Can kale be grown in pots?

Accepted Answer

Yes, dwarf kale varieties do well in containers with good drainage and sunlight. It is suited to pots, beds and windowsills. Watering: keep soil moist but not waterlogged. It is an annual, completing its whole life in one season, so sow again the following year.

Question 3

When can I harvest kale?

Accepted Answer

Leaves can be picked once they are large enough, usually 6-8 weeks after sowing. Harvest: From 8 weeks, pick outer leaves regularly. The harvest window runs March to December.

Question 4

Do these seeds make a good gift?

Accepted Answer

Yes — this is a straightforward packet to give, and what makes it work as a gift is mostly timing. Sowing runs January to August, so a packet given inside that window can go straight in, and one given outside it keeps perfectly well until the season comes round. There are approximately 350 seeds in the packet, so there is plenty to share. On effort it needs some love, which matters if you are giving it to someone new to growing. It suits pots, beds and windowsills, so it works for a small space as well as a garden.
