How To Grow

Sowing: Begin by selecting a suitable location for planting Garden Blend Kale seeds. Whether sowing directly in the garden or starting indoors, ensure the soil is well-prepared and free from debris. For direct sowing, plant the seeds at a depth of about 0.6 to 1.3 centimeters in rows spaced approximately 30-45 centimeters apart. If starting indoors, sow the seeds in trays or pots filled with seed-starting mix, pressing them gently into the soil surface. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs within 7-14 days.

Growing: Once the Garden Blend Kale seedlings emerge, provide them with adequate sunlight or artificial light if growing indoors. Kale prefers full sun to partial shade. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, watering as needed to ensure the soil remains evenly moist. As the seedlings grow, thin them to allow proper spacing, typically 30-45 centimeters apart for mature plants. Kale adapts well to various soil types but thrives in well-draining, nutrient-rich soil. Consider adding compost or organic matter to the soil to enhance fertility.

Harvesting

Harvesting Garden Blend Kale Seed is a straightforward process that ensures you collect mature seeds for future planting. Begin by allowing the kale plants to fully mature and produce seed pods. These pods will gradually dry out and turn brown as they ripen. Once the pods have dried completely and begin to split open, gently shake or rub them over a container to release the seeds. Alternatively, you can carefully remove the pods from the plants and crush them to extract the seeds. After collecting the seeds, store them in a cool, dry place in a labeled container for future use.

Seed Saving

Kale exhibits a biennial life cycle, meaning it spans over two years, making it essential to keep the plants in the garden through the winter season. As the second summer approaches its end, the kale plants will undergo a natural progression, flowering and eventually wilting, signaling the formation of seed pods. It is during this stage that the pods should be carefully collected and allowed to dry for approximately two weeks. Once thoroughly dried, the pods can be gently opened to extract the seeds, which should then be separated and stored in a suitable container for future use. This process ensures the preservation of viable kale seeds for continued cultivation in subsequent growing seasons.
