I grew my first kale last spring. I used pots. By late fall they were still going strong even after several frosts. I brought them inside and put them in a large south facing window and I still have them. One of the plants had been bitten off by the local moose. I left it in the pot and brought that one inside too. It started growing leaves again and also survived indoors in the same south facing window. I was surprised and pleased. I live in the Maine Mountain region.

Thanks for sharing the steps for planting Kale in a way I can understand! Your voice is calming for those of us whom are a bit intimidated with planting our first new crop of Kale🥰

[sandyg]

I very much appreciate your attention to detail. I am learning lots from your videos.
Now I know why my kale failed last year. However, the seeds I planted outdoors, then, are growing up nicely this year.

I don’t much like kale but I grow it to treat my chickens and I love the spring flower shoots which I eat like sprouting broccoli. Great in stir fries.

I just planted two kale plants to see how it'll grow.... Now i can get seeds yay!

[emanuelbalarabe]

wow this is lovely the information is very helpful and handy. Thank you

[nobullziggster]

When you did the Bell peppers/ I had ordered 2 seed packs/ they took so long I tried a old pack of seeds I had and they sprouted/ now i have way to many plants and two packs of un-opened seeds. (see if i can give them away) Your gardening is like a meal, makes one want to have it right now. loll

We had a lemony kale salad with dinner 🤤

I really like the seed to harvest format with it all in one video. Thanks for the valuable info. I’m going to grow Kale 🥬 my first time this year!

One small topic you could add in future videos is the use of low tunnel hoops. If you have them, then you could possibly plant your kale a few weeks early in spring, depending on the soil temperatures inside the hoop. Likewise, in fall, you could extend the harvest season by a few weeks.

Beautiful kale! I'm growing 3 types of kale and not for the first time but it's still good to see what is needed for proper growth! And yes ik I'm up late but not my fault it's a school project that is due is in less than a week so ye but I completed it rn and was just about to go to sleep but saw this video and I can't really join the live streams so often because I'm mostly studying at the moment of live streams but will surely catch up when it's uploaded!

Lacinato for me this year especially seeing a lot of allotment growers rave about..

Hi there.
Just thought I would let you know that even here in Australia your advice, tips, hints, and tricks to getting everything growing successfully has been an absolute bonus for my garden.

My grandkids and I have been able to get phenomenal growth out of vegetables that would have, quite easily, failed and left the grandkids disappointed.

Recently our Woolworths food chain had a run of limited seed collections and most people have had consistent mould and growth issues. I guess buying $30 of groceries for one seed pod would come with issues.

I posted links on Facebook to your channel and asked everyone I spoke with to remember planting spring herbs, vegetables, and flowers in Winter would mean the ultimate act of disappointment for their children and grandchildren.

I've taken to collecting the seed pods but buying actual seeds from our Bunnings ( I think that would be like your Lowe's store ) and planting those in season.

As Kale is one of those seeds we can plant here in Australia now for a fall crop I was super excited to show the grandkids your very special helpful hints. We are about to do this today so fingers crossed the kale wants to grow.

By the way, my eldest son ( 18 yr old with slightly autistic behaviour ) was able to use your peppers ( chillies for us here ) videos and successfully grow Trinidad chillies, Thai birds eye chillies, Cayenne chillies, Jalapeno chillies, Ghost and Scorpion chillies, along with a mix of Carribbean chillies. I call them "Hotch potch" chillies as we have had some weird ones come up.

I've also joined your Facebook page.

Thank you for such amazing, and extremely helpful, advice. Keep up the fantastic work and a huge thank you from a granny down under...lol

[sandyrose]

I really enjoy your gardening videos.... so down to earth and to the very good I am going to try this "craft

[sweetpeanmolly]

What a perfect step-by-step video for kale! I really appreciate this. Thank you so much I did subscribe.

Not that I have decades of experience in gardening or anything 😂 but this year I have already planted out kale under my makeshift mini hoop house on the south side of my home. (I live in the southern Alberta foothills area) Nobody is recommending plants outside yet, but I’m interested to see if a bit of protection and added warmth can yield some earlier results for me🤔 we have leaf miners here so summer is just a heck of a hard time to grow kale. My family does like the baby kale, but I’d really like to grow some bigger leaves just for fun! I actually feel quite excited to be trying this kale growing experiment.
