This curly kale is a very reliable winter hardy which greens at a time when fresh and nutritious vegetables can be in short supply. Reliable to grow in most UK soils, the seeds should be sown from April to early June provided the soil is rich and well drained. Sow thinly in a well prepared seedbed, 12mm deep in drills 23cm apart. Transplant when large enough to handle to 50cm apart. Pick fresh young leaves throughout winter and spring and leave older leaves for when you want more kick from the flavour.
