KALE HALBHOHER GRÜNER KRAUSER AB
Brassica oleracea var. sabellica
A semi-dwarf, productive, early, frost-resistant variety with finely curled, dark green leaves. Kale's flavor and vitamin content are enhanced after the first frosts. Its taste is characteristic of kale: slightly sweet with nutty notes.
How to successfully sow Halbhoher kale
Sow seeds 0.5 cm deep from May to mid-July, in a nursery bed 1 cm deep. Do not compact the soil to allow the seedlings to reach the light more easily.
To germinate, kale seeds require a temperature between 7°C and 20°C for about 10 days.
Planting kale
Transplant in place when the plants have 4 leaves, at a distance of 80 cm in all directions, in fertile, deep, fresh and humus-rich soil, in a sunny location.
Mulching and watering at the base is recommended. Protect with a winter fleece if severe frost is expected.
Kale thrives in rich, clayey soils, but can grow in most soils as long as they remain moist.
Harvest
Kale leaves are harvested from October to mid-February, as frost makes the leaves more tender.
The enemies
Slugs : Set up slug barriers around crops.
White butterfly : spray with tansy decoctions or install an insect net.
