Kale Forest

My kale started off not looking so good earlier this year, but it finally took off a few weeks ago when the cold, wet weather started. It must like that because now the corner of my balcony is a kale forest!
How do you know when it's ready to harvest and eat? It looks delicious!

  1. It's ready to eat. If you just harvest the outside leaves, the inner leaves will continue growing and new leaves will form.

  3. Yes..you can eat it now!! So good and good for you. It's a biennial you know...first year growth...should get through the winter okay and then forms seeds the next year...unless you are cruel like me and pinch off the seed/flower heads and it makes it to year three! It does look rather pitiful in the third year..like "what have you done to me!" Enjoy..
