Four kale were planted in the outdoor garden. These plants produce all Summer and the leaves are always pleasant to eat.

Kale is a great garden veggie. Wish I could extend its life but by April it is done here until next fall.

Yours is interesting looking with the variegation look...here's mine just before end of season last month.

Kale produces all Summer if cut regularly. The leaves are removed frtom he rather tough veins and steam cooked until soft about 20 minutes. I find kale superior to spinach. From my six plants there is usually a pound or so in about five days. No bugs attack it in my garden so far.

Whitefly are the problem here.
I grow it as a winter veg, because in the mild UK winter it is hardy enough, and will give some growth in the spring, prior to setting seed.
