Brassica oleracea
KALE-COLOUR MIX a colorful mix for the gourmet cook includes Blue Curled Nero di Toscana, Lacinato, Red Russian & Vates. Kale is extremely hardy, tolerant of both hot & cold weather. Grow it as a winter vegetable or as an ingredient in salad mixes. It is very nutritious; a source of folate, vitamin K, iron, iodine, calcium, and vitamin C. Sow the seeds in a seedbed. The timing is not vital because kale will germinate in temps as low as 5°C & as high as 35°C. Sow the seeds about 1.5cm deep in rows 22cm apart, germination will take about 10 days. When the plants are about 22cm high & four leaves have developed (about 6 weeks after sowing) transplant them to their final positions. They should be planted slightly deeper than they grew in the seedbed.

More About Us
When I started this journey in 2009, I found nothing existed commercially, that was reasonably priced and easy to use. There was a homemade system which I also found was not that user-friendly.
Then a friend of mine told me about a homemade method she used. However, when I tried her method, I found this also didn’t suit my needs, as it too had flaws that I considered where important. It did not keep vermin out, did not have a lockable lid and (to me) looked unsightly in the garden
