Kale

I tried growing Kale from a seed about three years ago and was successful but the first year was not a very bountiful year. I blame the lack of watering at the time. I initially tried to hand water the raised garden bed in the past and the plants did not receive the proper amounts of water it needed to grow strong and plentiful. The following year, I switched to a automatic watering system with a timer. This improved the growth of the kale plant and other plants of course.

I was especially happy when the plant survived through the winter and into the following spring. I was able to pick leaves from the plant for a few months. This plant grows stronger during the early spring months when the air is cooler. However, there are many pest that attack this plant continuously. This plant is one of the favorite items I have grown so far. I will definitely add several more plants in the coming spring months.

There are so many ways I use Kale, but the most favorite is as a salad with herb vinaigrette.

Thank you for reading and place leave a comment if you have anything to ad about this wonderful plant called Kale.
