Red Russian, Kale,
This delicious grey-green kale is larger than regular kale (2-3 ft tall), the stems are purple, and the leaves are shaped like oak leaves and colored a velvety gray-green. The purple colors become richer after frost when the flavor becomes sweeter. Surprisingly, the big leaves are very tender and delicious. Kale is super hardy and so simple to grow; just plant it and forget it! The best flavor is from crops grown in the cooler weather but does well in the heat also. Kale is super nutritious, easy to grow any time of year, and much healthier than lettuce. 28 days baby, 55 days from sowing.
