🥬 Kale does well in many areas, and not just in the spring. To grow kale in the fall, plant the seeds about six weeks before the first frost so they have enough time to mature.
Leafy vegetables like kale need plenty of nitrogen, so it’s a good idea to plant them where you previously grew legumes. This way, the soil will better support healthy growth. 🪏

Learning to plant kale isn't just a spring activity in our gardens. When spring crops wilt from summer's heat, and we have the pantry lined with the fruits of our labors, we till up the soil and plant a fall garden. One mainstay of that garden is kale.
