Product Description Nero di toscana kale seed by Mr. Fothergill's. Nutritious baby leaf. Easy to grow, for baby leaf or mature winter plants. Unusual dark wrinkled leaves, can be eaten raw or cooked. Excellent source of vitamin C and vitamin A. Useful Information: Vitamin C; Iron; Dietary fibre Sow and Grow: Outdoors: sow thinly April-September, in a seed bed, 1.5 cm (1/2-inch) deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-cultivated, moist, fertile soil. Allow 30 cm (1 feet) between rows. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Thin to 45 cm (18-inch) apart. No thinning is necessary if only baby leaves are required. Keep moist. Regular sowings, made every two to three weeks, will ensure a continuous supply. Harvest baby leaves from June. Or sow indoors, March-May, 0.5 cm (1/4-inch) deep, in a tray of compost. Keep warm and moist. A temperature of 15 degree C (60 degree F) is ideal. Transplant 5 cm (2-inch) apart to other trays, when large enough to handle. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts) before planting out, 45 cm (18-inch) apart, during May-June, into well-cultivated, fertile soil. Harvest mature plants from September to March. Hints and Tips: Sow outdoors until June, for mature plants to harvest from September to March; sow until September and pick, as required, for baby leaf. Sow indoors for mature plants only. Box Contains 1x 400 Seeds Pack
