How to Plant Kale from Seed

Preparing for Sowing

When growing Kale apply straw, grass clippings, or compost to retain moisture and prevent weeds.

When to Plant Seeds

  • For spring planting, start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost.
  • For fall planting, sow seeds 10-12 weeks before the first expected frost.
  • Can be direct-seeded outdoors as soon as soil temperatures reach 45°F (7°C).

Seed Preparation

  1. Select a sunny garden bed or container with good drainage.
  2. Work in organic matter to enrich the soil.
  3. Ensure soil is loose and free of clumps to aid seedling emergence.

Sowing Seeds Outdoors

  1. Plant seeds ¼ to ½ inch deep in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart.
  2. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged.
  3. Seeds will germinate within 5-10 days.

Transplanting Outdoors

  • Space seedlings 12-18 inches apart in rows 18-24 inches apart.
  • Bury stems slightly deeper to promote strong root development.

Pro Tip

Kale tastes sweeter after a light frost! For the best harvest, plant it in early spring or late summer, and keep the soil rich with compost. Harvest the outer leaves first, letting the inner ones keep growing for a continuous supply.

Bonus: Mulch around the base to retain moisture and keep weeds at bay!
