Six months with Kale — what I actually learned

I brought Kale home six months ago with high hopes and almost no knowledge. The first challenge was understanding thinning seedlings to give each plant adequate space — something I hadn't expected to matter so much. Once I got that right, the whole thing settled down.

I grow it in a greenhouse or polytunnel for season extension and the position has been ideal. satisfaction of harvesting food you grew yourself is what keeps drawing me back to it. sowing under cover from late winter for early crops was the moment that made me glad I persisted through the learning curve. One honest warning: slug and snail damage on young seedlings caught me off guard in month two. Stay on top of it from the start.
