Thank you, for making this video. I have to admit I'm from the USA.
Please don't hold that against me! I'm a God fearing loving human.
Thanks for watching!
He gets straight to the point, thank you!! First time watchin
Great video.. Beautiful kale harvest
I am growing 4-5 varieties including the one you have there. I grow them in Tn and even if a frost hits it doesn't stop. Best crop to grow all year round. Part sun or less. It is actually LACINATO KALE Love all your videos. thank you
It is so fascinating how when the kale plants mature, you can see a color difference in the center of the plant compared to the older and bigger leaves
I've been growing kale for years. I've learned pretty much what you are sharing on this video.
Our timing couldnt be better CG! I just got three packs of High mowing organic non gmo Lacinato dinosaur kale/ heirloom variety! I am sooo psyched to get them going. Up here in northern vermont i actually watched my neighbors kale last through three snowstorms before it was harvested a couple weeks ago! Wonderful video CG, thanks from beautiful VERMONT!
Thanks, nice to know you are growing Kale! Every time I get a comment from someone in Vermont, it makes me realize I still have to visit this beautiful place :) Happy Gardening!
Kale is also heat resistant. My kale survived 7 days of 104 degrees Fahrenheit here in Australia, easy no stress at all to the plant. Grt Video.
Yes Kale is indeed the most heat tolerant green
I agree but in the summer we get lots of bugs so winter growing is better IMO. I plant it all year,
How do you think it will fair in indonesia? It’s usually 90’s during the day and humid. I’m trying to figure out what leafy greens I can grow here that aren’t bok Chou haha
@@Chris-zj3bq kale will grow so great in Indonesia
Very informative! I learned from you I need to pick ready kale from the bottom.
This was great! I've decided to grow kale this year. Thanks for sharing.
Im in canada. I had a huge kale harvest last year I had to freeze it haha ! Just kept growing
Don't forget Kale chips! So yummy! You can also make a greens powder for smoothies by dehydrating the leaves. And you know how expensive those greens powders are!
Great video, really comprehensive!
Thank you for all your helpfull videos!
Beautiful kale plants! I'm growing a variety called Dazzling Blue this year, as well as Lacinato. I hope mine look like this!
I'm growing kale in containers today. Thanks for the inspiration! 😀
I LOVE your videos! Thank you so much for these! I plan on using them as a begin my first garden this year.
Those are some beautiful plants. Wow.
This is a really good gardening channel. Thank you for the information.

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Happy Gardening
thanks for sharing, I have neve been much for certain types of kale, but I found some the other day that goes really well on sandwiches. Thank you for the inspiration.
My kale is doing good in Winter of Arizona. Turnips, onions, peas, swiss chard are doing well too now.
Excellent video, very informative. Thank you.
Nice video.. thx ..will def. grow some kale soon!!!
Thank you for this!
I love Dino Kale and Red Russian. Much less bitter tasting. And the cabbage looper caterpillars are VERY destructive. BT helps with them. Also covering with Tulie cloth.
Tommyr Those are the only 2 varieties I grow. The red Russian kale is so tender too. I don't even consider growing the curly kale.
Kale a super plant. Great for winter.

Beautiful yield od kale❤️
Thanks for the great video featuring one of my favorite veggies! Kales are easy to grow in a home garden. They are very nutritious. That's why I always have kales growing in my garden. My favorite varieties are Red Russian and Lacinato (Italian heirloom variety). I noticed that kale leaves are more tender, sweeter, and good-tasting during the cold months.
Thanks for sharing the varieties you are growing! Happy Gardening!
Kale is fun to grow they are super cold resistant I have a video on my channel showing just how hardy they are and the plants were frozen solid and they are still alive, make sure you mulch it well in cold areas, I use a 5-5-5 Dr.earth organic fertilizer it works great I'll do a update soon on how they are doing.
Very good explanation and tremendous motivation. Thx so muh friend. By the way, I too started growing kale , but my kale plants are little small, but I tried to plant them, so tiny, that I cannot even hard to take. I planted only two and wait for the rest to grow more big.
Nice video
I'm from the Netherlands and for us kale mash, is a very popular hearty winyterdish. We know the kale is even tastier after it's been through frost. This is the climate it is used to, and because it has such a long growing season people always had kale in their yards, so much so in england people's yards would actually be called "kale yards". They needed those vitamins in the time of year other produce was scarce.
The way we eat it is cooked with and mashed in a potatomash (milk and butter) with fried cured baconbits and smoked sausage. All the things a family would have around preserved in winter. It's special bitter-ish flavor works best with these things. Its even a favorite for kids.
Oh and we lso freeze it, cut up in a bag it lasts very well that way too. So you can have it all year round after a glut harvest.
thank you
I love your videos
Thanks! Happy Gardening!!
good video, outer leaves harvested at 4.30 , below those some leaves are thin, would u pluck it or leave to mature ?
Thanks
Great video! Thank you! When you pick off the early pieces, are they edible? Also, do new leaves form off the parts you pick off? I'm new to gardening. Thank you!
how far apart do you recommend planting kale for maximum yield?
You should have included a dish you enjoy! Happy gardening. Greetings from Los Angeles
I know I should have :) I'll put int he efforts to do it for some of my future videos. Thanks for your feedback!
I noticed on your most recent video. Looks tasty!
I'm growing both Lacnato Kale and collards in the winter garden. I prefer collards as table fare from a taste and texture standpoint. Trying to find recipes that use kale that taste good. Sautéed with white beans is the best thus far but not many others.
Kale chips.
I wish i could grow kale haha I tried once and failed. maybe I'll try again this year
I like your accent 😁
Once you have harvested those bottom leaves, how many days later would you do another round of harvesting?
What kind of soil you use? It looks good.
I grow Russian Kale all year long right here in Canada eh. I am going to try some container kale this year.
Harvest the bottoms with a partial light schedule. How quickly does it grow back after harvest? How long can I keep harvesting one kale plant? Thanks!
Kale lives in all seasons not just “cool weather” ... first time I’ve ever heard that ...
Given the right environment, you can definitely grow Kale in the hotter months. This makes sense. The Kale you plant in the spring isn't simply cut down in July and thrown away. Most healthy plants will grow right through summer, then into fall, and depending on where you live, right into the next year!
This season, I’ve had cabbageworms in my purple kale
I started growing a jale plant from seed 3 years ago, and it has not made hand- sized leaves yet. It is probably around 8-10 inches high and its leaves have not been damaged by insects or disease, but they are still only 2-3 inches long and 1.5 in wide. Any idea why this might be? Its been kept inside until recently.
Thank you for detailed info.
My experience: I saved seeds from a curly kale that survived -30C and 7 months of pure winter, crop from those seeds was a disaster. 2016, I did grow a few from seeds and a flat mixed with all verities, they turned out bitter by July/August, I left them in ground to see if they pop up in May or not. I love curly kale and use them in my favorite salad mix.
Question: Have you ever tried cooking kale as replacement for mustard green (saraoon ka saag) these days most of South Asian are using broccoli raab leaves for saag purée.
Yes I do add in kale leaves with mustard greens, I also add radish greens. Makes great saag!
I put the Dino kale seedlings out in my back to eden garden last September in zone 7. They didn't grow at all but survived the winter. Based on your video, I'm thinking not enough light and/or nitrogen. Should I move them or wait and apply some compost?
Nice video with all info,
I planted curly kale, but they become leggy (strechy) after 6-7 weeks, I harvested some immature leaves from bottom then also plant going leggy,
Plz advice, thanks,
how often do you water them in the first 5 weeks when growing them in the seed starting kit?
I was watching a true crime video and this came up on auto play
I watched the entire thing
Glad you liked it
do you mix the fertilizer into the soil or do you get the kind of water-soluble fertilizer that you add when you water the plant? what brand of fertilizer would you recommend for kale? thank you :)
Super video--thx.
BTW: It's LA-CIN-A-TO, so 4 syllables. It's aka Dinosaur kale.
Yes I realized that later, thanks!
Do you have to drill hole in whiskey barrel container for kale or will it be ffg ine since it needs plenty of water?
Yes you have to drill holes for drainage
can you make a video on growing lavender
I love drankin viskey
What's the ring you put on the pot for? Never seen it before. Thanks
At 2:48 that ring is a soaker hose emitter for my drip line. See this video for the setup process: ua-cam.com/video/04LqlmJzjBU/v-deo.html
hello, can you please tell me where to get the purple white chrysanthemum grown next to the Kale in the pot? thank you.
I planted kale in a pot. I put a lot of seeds in. My question is should I remove most of the seedlings and leave just one or two in the pot? Did I mess up?
can we grow indoor ?
I had to use BT to get rid of the caterpillars.
At 2:55 it looks like some caterpillars have snacked on a kale salad. At 4:00 you have an explanation.
i try seedling kale yesterday, and today it already grow little sprout. when is the best time to give sprout the sunlight? i read online never too late to give enough sunlight otherwise it will grow leggy. what should i do? (i live in tropical country)
Thank you soooooo muchhhh. Now please open your ebay shop, i need curry leaf seeds.
Hey there! Just a quick question... once you harvest will it regrow?
Most definitely! Harvest the outer (lower leaves) first, always leaving at least 20-25% of the leaves on the plant intact. Kale grows from the inside out, so it is always producing new shoots and leave for you to harvest! That's why you can grow it for 2+ years in a row!
How about growing in the Philippines?
can you please make a video of growing Swiss chard and lettuce from seed
Swiss Chard: ua-cam.com/video/4oKT3p0GU68/v-deo.html and Letuce: ua-cam.com/video/4RpZGIPRALY/v-deo.htmlm8s
My kale has grown super tall im 5"7 and it's almost to mt chest what can I do I dont want to pull it up because it's still gowing fine but it just keeps getting taller and has also started producing baby planta off the bottom of the stalk how can i get those properly to re plant and its curly kale, winterbor and lacinto
Morning sun or afternoon sun best? I planted Curley kale and it was in morning sun. Planted next to cabbage and it was eaten alive. The crop was not worth my effort. I planted in spring in East Texas.
My kale is not growing normally. Most of the leaves are not curly and get huge in size. Hardly any leaves and some of them are deformed. They look like they have been melted.
i watched this video many time. i would like to grow Kale. do you think Kale will grow in Indonesia and i put that Kale tree in AC as cooler?
Can i know the result? How does it go?
i grown in India, it fine, protect from heat,
Nice video. Last yr I grew Kale in the early spring time for first time and had good success. This yr, I tried to grow it late fall and no luck. Even after almost 2 months the plants look like same size as when I transplanted them. I did use organic vegetable fertilizer in my soil. I am growing these in raised beds as well as 5-gallon buckets. Not sure what could be wrong. Maybe it is every day rain that we having in northern CA this yr.
I do have a question about starting from seeds. Do you out those 6-packs in your green house or garage under grow lights or outside in southern CA is good?
In SoCal you can keep it in the greenhouse they will germinate OK. But on very cold days grow lights are a better option for the germination stage
Hi Sir i have a kale plant almost dieing can you tell me how to safe it please help
how do you grow them indoors?
I need this seed . so how can I get??
Can i sow seeds in spring season? Will it grow in summer
Yes, if you are direct seeding, spring is when you do it. They germinate fast and will be harvestable plants often before summer. Kale is a biennial and grows over the course of 2 years in most areas.
can i plant kale in the philippines?
wow first
You made it!
California Gardening thanks
Can I start planting Kale now in zone8a?
Yes you can!
Does the kale keep growing after u pick it?
