Well, hello everyone. Welcome back to the Epic Gardening Podcast.

Kevin here and we are talking about a very simple topic today, but I do love to cover those basics

for all of you out there who are just learning how to garden.

This would be how to harvest

kale a cut and come again crop. This is a crop that's going to be popular right now.

You might have kale that's coming to an end as we near a frost in your area or you

may be just planning kale in anticipation of fall and winter and even over winter

harvests depending on where you live. So kale is a fantastic plant. It's ready almost always around

55 to 75 days after transplanting, but ready is a relative term because you can harvest it for quite a while and it is one of those

cut and come again crops which as the name implies you go ahead and take some cuttings and use those in your kitchen and then you come back a couple days later a week later and you do the exact same thing

over and over again.

Now just a little quick note on varieties.

Siberian kale or scarlet kale are both the curly leaf type.

You can also get the bumpy leaf, also called Lassonado or dinosaur kale.

Black Magic kale is one of those, or Nero de Toskana I believe is the pronunciation there.

That's another one that you can really do.

Or you can get a plainleaf one like a red Russian kale or a Tranchuda kale.

Lots of different varieties, but the real question... like a red Russian kale or a Tranchuda kale.

Lots of different varieties, but the real question of the episode

is, how do you actually harvest?

When do you harvest it?

Kale is just so easy going
