Thompson & Morgan Kale Babyleaf Mix 1 Seed Packet, Multi

Grow your own vitamin-packed veg! This tasty mix includes Dwarf Blue Kale, Scarlet Kale, Red Kale and Cavolo Nero. Harvest tasty and nutritious baby leaf kale throughout summer. Kale is naturally packed with health benefits and contains six times more calcium than broccoli as well as being rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytochemicals, especially when freshly picked. Companion planting: try growing kale with Nasturtiums to draw cabbage white butterflies away from your crop, and mint to help deter flea beetles.For salad leaves Kale can be sown indoors all year round. Harvest 30 days from sowing during summer and up to 60 days during winter months. For mature plants, sow Kale seed from March to May. Kale plants can be transplanted to their final positions approximately 5 weeks from sowing.Grow kale in firm, rich fertile, well-drained soil in sun or semi shade. Prepare the soil in early spring by adding plenty of well-rotted farmyard manure to the soil to improve its structure and fertility. Apply lime to acid soils to reduce the acidity and lessen the risk of clubroot. When transplanting kale, plant it slightly deeper in the ground than it was in the seedbed. Plant kale at a distance of 60cm (24") apart and cover with a protective netting or fleece to prevent attack from birds and insects. Water the plants thoroughly after planting.Product specifications:. Position: Full Sun, Sun or Semi Shade. Height: Up to 45cm when fully established. Spread: Up to 40cm when fully established.
