Red Russian Kale
You can’t beat kale if you are looking for tasty greens with high vitamin and mineral content. The leaves are sweet, tender and crunchy especially when harvested after exposure to cool frosty weather. Enjoy greens boiled, steamed, stir fried or as a fresh addition to salads and sandwiches.
When and where to plant
Select sunny location and sow seed in the spring as soon as the ground can be worked. Plant again in late July and August for fall and winter harvest. For best results, loosen soil with spade or fork, fertilize and smooth with rake. Firm soil over seed and keep moist.
Care
Keep soil moist, weed free and feed every 4-6 weeks.

Pick youngest leaves for fresh use in salads and sandwiches or harvest the tender fully grown leaves starting from the bottom of the plant.
