Kale and Collards

Kale contains the highest levels of beta-carotene of any green vegetable, is high in vitamin C and has lots of calcium. Collards are not far behind. All are easy to grow, vigorous, nutritious, resistant to cold, easy to harvest and prepare. Kale is very easy to grow and is winter hardy, making it an ideal vegetable for the winter-harvest garden. They even get sweeter after frost.

Osaka Pink Hybrid

Osaka Pink Hybrid Winter Gardening

Although the edible kales are striking in the garden all winter, you may want to try your hand at this ornamental one as a display at the front of your flower beds or in containers for the porch or balcony. We list them in this section because they are grown just like their edible counterparts and they are subject to the same pests too. Purchased plants in pots will be root bound and will not get any larger as the fall progresses whereas your plants in the garden can get up to 45cm or more acaross. Start them in late June by sowing a short row of seeds spaced 6cm (2") apart. When the plants are 10cm (4") tall transplant them to stand about 45cm (18") apart. Give them lime and very rich soil. Since these are grown for their looks, use Bt or flowing row cover to keep the caterpillars off. The inner leaves will begin to develop their pink, red, or white shades as soon as the temperature gets below 10 degrees Celsius.
