But until then....it was delicious. <br />PS I love Niki's book.

Will try to remember it next year....of course I could pretend I was really organized and starting my seed list for 2014 but that would not be the truth )))). <br /><br />Nice plug for Niki's great book!!

We actually dip down to Washington state, so our weather is very Pacific NW. We are zone 9a. I planted kale in the spring for summer, but we can grow kale here all year round. The kale I am planting now is for winter greens when I don't have lettuce. That said I am going to do 2 cold frames this year and hope to grow lettuce and spinach all winter. There is a book called The Year Round Vegetable Gardener by Niki Jabbour. She winter gardens in Nova Scotia which has a very cold climate, so I should be able to here!! <br />Oh, also, kale is much softer, juicier and sweeter in the winter. Great for salad.

So - here in the U.S. we are winding down into our fall (or here in Arizona - our late summer). So - can kale grow well into your summer or are you just excited to grow this variety this spring?Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12461600014446853297noreply@blogger.com
