Hi Josh! Love your channel. I planted a bunch of the "normal" kale a couple weeks ago. Wish I had known about this stuff. Also, just wanted to say that your videos are really helping in direct and indirect ways. Case in point; I started a garden after watching a bunch of your videos all winter. (I live in Minnesota so our growing season is just starting) and my neighbor, who I had scarcely spoken with before walked over to talk with me. I thought maybe to complain about my garden beds. Instead, she told me that she had always wanted to have a garden but she didn't know where to start. Plus, she has a bad knee so she didn't think she could do all the required kneeling and bending. I immediately recalled your words about "thinking abundantly" and long story short I offered to build her a 3 foot tall raised keyhole garden (9ftx6ft) and help her plant it. she is so happy with her little garden and it makes me so happy to see her out there in the morning with her coffee checking on her veggies. Your videos are helping people be better neighbors and they are even helping people who have not even watched them yet. Kudos brother!

Red Russian is the backbone of my garden and has been for years! It's great to overwinter!

Josh you, your interns and volunteers are doing a great job. Love the passion.

Just watched this video again to help plan for a fall garden. Wish I could could hit the like button twice. Thanks for all the information you share. I hope God continues to bless you with great success out at Raleigh City.

I’m in North Carolina too and red Russian kale grows really good. I like being a subscribe to your page because I am a grower myself and I appreciate and respect what you are presenting right now.

I love that you are direct, to the point, and solid information!

You're Kale-ing it! Rock on. :) Thank you for the tips.

I love kale. Living in the city I buy mine at the store and you're right about the bundle size, they tend to be very big. Honestly much too big for a single person household. But you can prep it and freeze what you're not ready to eat. Try it in country omelettes or in a stir fry. But lately I've just been making kale and cheese pie. Yum!
Here in Europe we tend to mostly have the green curly stuff, btw.

Farm beds look beautiful, I’ve expanded my harvestable beds here in North Queensland Australia this past the rain is falling in celebration =)

I discovered your channel when you first started and subscribed. I watch most of your videos and then adapt what you say to my zone up here in eastern Ontario where our growing season is short and the winters cold. I love your practicality and enthusiasm and no BS. Your biggest tip though was the tomato trellising system - it made a huge difference in production in my ⅛ acre kitchen garden. I had a good laugh when I saw that you use red Russian, which is the kale I only grow on my end - it resists the bugs and I use netting as I grow it as long as I can. I was concerned when you shut down your own operation and moved but there was no reason to worry. Thank you for continuing to share your knowledge, it is appreciated. Kale-on (poor pun - carry-on!)! The other commentator nailed it with kale-it 😀

The full size Red Russian is a beast coming out of winter into early spring(over wintered). Another point about the transplants is the seed cost. Red Russian is affordable but I want to start playing with some of the newer specialty stuff that looks really cool and the only way I can justify paying that much for seed(some of that stuff is pricey!) is to do transplants and be deliberate with every seed. Great video, thanks again.

I grew Red Russian kale last year and harvested this past winter. It was the best ever. Great information in your video. Thanks.

I have grown Red Russian Kale for years..I love it!

[robynpix]

Great video thanks Josh. Short, direct, clear and packed with useful information. You even answered my question at the end of why it was under the tunnel!

[mushethecowboycook]

Gene from raleigh city farm the kale you picked in the video was grrreat. Thanks josh for harvesting them

[zappafunkymonks]

Oh man! This is exactly what I needed, I just ordered some red Russian kale seeds and was wondering what was the best way to grow it. Thanks a lot!! Cheers from Mexico!

[katoloniable]

Love kale ate it sautéed almost daily with cornmeal growing up

[mydear]

Flea Beatles loved my red Russian kale....don't like to grow that for that reason, so does dwarfs Kale....blue scotch is a dream to grow, looks better and sells the best. Scarlet Kale is beautiful....ornamental kale lovely and edible.

[jackiekitchennowordsneeded]

I always learn something from videos. I have always just pinched my kale half way down the stalk. Now I know I know from the bottom of the stem up. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[papablueshirt]

Thanks for the tips. Like you said kale used to be what health nuts eat, it is not more accepted. I love kale and it is super healthy. I grow it indoors. I have a tray that is 16 months old and still going strong. : )
