I’ve never had luck with kale until my daughter randomly scattered this packet in one of my raised beds. I’ve been eating this salad all Fall and Winter! The kale just keeps growing, it’s delicious, and an easy keeper. I suppose I may have watered a little in the beginning then let Mother Nature take the lead. So happy my daughter scattered this seed! Many delicious and nutritious lunches from it! I’m reordering several packets just in case it’s ever discontinued.

I got this blend because I love kale in soups and stews and wanted to branch out. I planted them indoors and they grew really well! I've harvested so much of them now and love each variety! Great amount of seeds for the price too!
