Here's how to get the most out of these "Redbor" Kale Plants:
1. **Choose the Right Site**: Plant the "Redbor" Kale in a well-drained location, receiving at least 6 hours of sunlight daily. A shady spot in the heat of the day helps these vegetables to develop a more vibrant red color.
2. **Prepare the Soil**: Ensure your soil is loose, well-drained, and has a PH level between 6.0 and 7.0. Adding compost to this soil will improve its structure and nutrient availability.
3. **Plant and Water**: Dig a hole twice the size of the planting plug and fill it with a handful of well-rotted manure or compost. Place the plug back in, firming the soil around it. Water thoroughly and cover with soil.
4. **Maintain and Harvest**: Harvest the Kale when the leaves are about 10-12 inches in length. Ensure the stems are strong before harvesting, as this will prevent the plant from becoming stunted. Remove the outer leaves first, leaving only the central leaves to continue growing.
With these simple steps and the help of Thompson & Morgan's "Redbor" Kale Plants, you'll be enjoying your own homegrown, winter greens in no time!
