KALE LACINATO is an heirloom all-time favorite kale variety. The strain that we, at JPK Seed Company, have obtained, has been improved through selective breeding and is exceptionally large, vigorous and cold-tolerant. The seeds grow unique, deep blue-green savoyed leaves on extremely vigorous plants. Our kale seed is certified organic and non-GMO. SOWING: If you're planting during the cool season, find a spot where your kale will receive full sunshine. If you are planting during the warm season, or in a warmer climate, plant kale in partial shade. If you're going to be using kale on a regular basis, you'll want to have at least 3 - 4 plants per household member. In pots 6 inches or larger, plant seeds 1/2 inch deep, or direct sow in the garden in late winter, to early spring, starting 2 to 4 weeks before the last frost date or as soon as the ground can be worked. For Fall harvests, sow seeds in August. Established large plants (60 days) benefit from light frosts. Lacinato Kale is sweeter when the plants are exposed to a light frost or two. Or it can be grown as baby kale picked as early as 30 days from sowing date. Before using your harvested kale in salads or cooked recipes, give them a massage. With ribs removed, rub the leaves together and then repeat. The leaves darken and become silky. This simple technique removes any bitterness. WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE: a white envelope with rendering/description of vegetable on the front. Inside the sealed envelope, the seeds are secured in a zipped up clear plastic bag.
