the fully grown plants of Kale Black Tuscany have attractive dark green, deeply savoyed, strap-like leaves with traditional winter hardiness, making this a useful winter to spring vegetable at a time when fresh garden produce is scarce. Kale Black Tuscany can also be grown as a baby salad leaf ingredient adding texture and a peppery taste to mixed salads.
Sow seeds March-August for 'salad leaves' or March-June for mature plants.
Sow seeds thinly in a well-prepared seedbed, 12mm (½in) deep in drills 23cm (9in) apart. Plants can be left unthinned for 'salad leaves'. Ideally fleece against caterpillars and aphids.
For mature Kale, Sow seeds into individual pots or a seed tray of a proprietary compost and cover with 6mm (¼in) of compost or vermiculite, at a minimum of 15C ( 60F), until germination which takes around 7 days. Alternatively, can be sown thinly in a prepared seedbed 13mm (½in) deep, allowing 30cm (12in) between rows.
Can also be sown in pots or trays indoors for 'salad leaves' all the year round. Harvest in 30 days from sowing during summer and up to 60 days during winter months.
For mature Kale transplant when large enough to handle, about 5 weeks from sowing, to 45cm (18in) between plants each way. Plant firmly and keep well watered until established.
