Description: Kale LACINATO Dinosaur Kale Salads 30 Day Harvest Heirloom Non-GMO 500 SeedsThis Italian heirloom is also known as 'Dinosaur Kale' because of the texture of the leaves. The heavily wrinkled 3" wide leaves have a mild flavor and are good steamed or boiled. Baby leaves can be harvested as soon as 30 days, to be used raw in salad, while mature leaves are ready in 60 days.Technically a form of leafy non-heading cabbage, kale has been traced to ancient Greek and Roman civilizations. Early forms of this plant probably came from in Asia Minor or the Mediterranean region, though it is such an ancient plant no one can be sure of its origin. The first recorded mention of kale in America comes from a 1669 publication; European influence probably brought kale to America. Though kale is still a relatively minor crop in the States, it thrives in European kitchen gardens. Dinosaur kale in particular is a variety of Tuscan kale, which is an heirloom vegetable from eighteenth century Italy.PLANTING INSTRUCTIONSSowing: Since kale thrives in cool weather and sweetens with frost, it grows best as a fall crop. For an earlier crop in areas with a cool summer, sow the Lacinato kale seeds for sale in early spring; plant three seeds in a cluster, 1/2" deep and 16-18" apart in rows 2-3' apart. Thin the clusters to the strongest plant when the seedlings emerge. Kale appreciate very rich, moist soil that drains well, since they taste best when allowed to grow quickly. For a fall crop, plant the seeds in the same way about three months before the first expected frost. For companion planting benefits, plant Lacinato kale seeds for sale with cabbage or potatoes.Growing: Keep weeds controlled and conserve moisture by applying mulch. Keep the soil evenly moist, but stop watering after the first frost.Harvesting: Harvest baby leaves as soon as they grow big enough for salad; harvest bigger leaves as needed. Use a scissors or a knife to cut the leaves, to avoid tearing the stems. To harvest the entire Lacinato kale plant, cut it off an inch above ground level. To make the fresh leaves last longer in the fridge, dip the stems in water after cutting them; they should stay fresh for up to a month. Kale also freezes well. Expect to harvest well after frost, since most varieties of kale can survive freezing temperatures.WE SHIP FAST &FREE! Your orders ship the next business date after payment via US mail. NO TRACKING.
