Red Russian Kale

This tasty grey-green kale looks good enough to plant among the flowers. Kale is a leafy green vegetable that is part of the cabbage family. It is a highly nutritious vegetable and is a good source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron, calcium, and fiber. There are several different varieties of kale, including curly kale, Tuscan kale, and red kale.

To care for kale plants, it is important to plant them in well-drained soil and in an area that gets plenty of sunlight. They should be watered regularly, but be careful not to overwater as this can lead to root rot. It is also important to keep an eye out for pests, such as aphids and cabbage worms, and to remove them promptly. Kale plants can be harvested by picking the outer leaves as they mature, or the entire plant can be harvested at once. It is also important to rotate kale plants with other crops to prevent the buildup of pests and disease in the soil.

Good Neighbors: 

Onions, including spring onions or shallots are great as a kale companion.

Bad Neighbors: 

Avoid planting kale with other brassicas (like broccoli, kohlrabi, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, and Swiss chard). No cucumbers, zucchini or squash.
