Red Russian Kale has tender, blue-green leaves with red veins. It is sweetest when harvested in the fall after a light frost. My favorite variety.
We like to toss steamed kale with a mixture of roasted garlic, lemon juice and butter with a dash of salt. Kale can also be stir-fried or added to soups during the last five minutes of cooking time.

Sowing Kale Seeds:
Sow outdoors in late spring to summer, 1/4" deep. In the south, sow in fall for an early spring crop. Thin to 12" apart. Full sun to part shade. Easy to grow.
