Thompson & Morgan Kale Emerald Ice 1 Seed Packet (20 Seeds), Green

Kale 'Emerald Ice' offers a crop of delicious, fresh, vitamin-packed leaves from October to April! This is an exceptionally fine flavoured variety and one of the best eating-quality kales we know of. Its textured and ruffled leaves have the sweetest flavour and crispiest texture – even the leaf stalks taste like candy. Its leaves also develop a striking contrasting white centre as they mature. This variety has excellent winter hardiness and is a wonderful winter to spring vegetable to grow at a time when fresh garden produce is scarce. Companion planting: try growing kale with Nasturtiums to draw cabbage white butterflies away from your crop, and mint to help deter flea beetles.Sow Kale seed from March to June. Direct sow outdoors into a well-prepared seedbed, for transplanting to their final positions later on. Sow at a depth of 1cm (1/2") and distance of 23cm (9") between rows. 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.Product specifications:.
