When is the best time to plant kale?

Kale sowing time

The most important and most commonly used method of kale propagation is sowing propagation. When carrying out sowing propagation, you must control the sowing time. The sowing time is very important for the growth of kale. Generally speaking, it is best to sow kale seeds from mid-July to early August each year. Sowing kale during this period is conducive to seed germination and healthy growth. However, the amount of rainfall during this period is relatively large, so we must pay attention to drainage when growing kale. After the sowing work is completed, the kale can be planted around late August. In this way, kale can grow in a suitable temperature, grow well, and have high ornamental value.

The dangers of not sowing kale on time

If kale seeds are sown before July, the leaves of the kale will turn yellow in the later stage of the kale growth period. The kale with this phenomenon is not only unsightly, but also very difficult to manage, which will extend the management period and be time-consuming and labor-intensive. If kale seeds are sown later than the best time, it will be late autumn and the weather will gradually get colder. The temperature for the kale to grow will not be high enough and the growth condition will not be good enough. The leaves of kale grown in this climate will be relatively small, and the ornamental value of the kale will be greatly reduced, showing poor growth condition and affecting the appearance.
