{"title":"Kale Seeds","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"32\" data-end=\"1131\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eKale seeds are a dependable choice for Canadian gardeners looking to grow productive, cold-tolerant leafy greens for home or market gardens. Our kale vegetable seeds include options suited to a range of culinary uses, from tender young leaves for salads to mature foliage for soups, sautés, smoothies and homemade chips. Depending on the variety, plants may produce tightly curled, flat or deeply textured leaves in green, blue-green or purple tones. Popular choices such as lacinato kale seeds, Tuscan kale seeds and black kale seeds offer distinctive texture, flavour and strong visual appeal in edible gardens. Kale performs well outdoors in vegetable beds, raised beds and larger containers, making it practical for backyard gardeners and commercial growers alike. Its ability to tolerate cool conditions makes it especially valuable for extending harvest opportunities in many Canadian growing regions. Whether you are expanding your vegetable seed collection or sourcing varieties for larger production, explore our kale seeds for sale in Canada and order online for your next planting season.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"kale-dwarf-green-curled-bio-bv","title":"Organic 'Dwarf Green Curled' kale","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic 'Dwarf Green Curled' kale\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003eBrassica oleracea, Group Acephala\u003c\/em\u003e) is a compact variety also known as 'Dwarf Curled Scotch', 'Bloomsdale', or 'Jamaica'.

The depth to be respected is 1 cm (0.4 in.). Seedlings generally emerge within 7 to 14 days. For germination, keep the soil at 18 to 22°C (64 to 72°F). Young cabbages require light to form short, vigorous plants. Transplant before the roots become crowded, then gradually harden off the plants to outdoor conditions.

Avoid crowding the plants because they are small at first: mature foliage takes up much more space as the crop develops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant cabbages in rows with enough space to inspect the base and centre of each plant.

Baby leaves can be harvested around 21 days and full-size leaves around 50 days. The Gaia packet contains approximately 60 certified organic seeds for cool-season garden production. Its flexible harvest window and strong cold tolerance make it especially useful for extending home-garden production into late autumn.

Place seed 1.3 cm deep in cool soil and keep the seedbed evenly moist. Germination generally takes 7 to 10 days, with an optimum temperature of 16 to 21°C. For baby leaves, space plants 5 to 10 cm apart; for full-size plants, allow 30 to 45 cm with 45 to 75 cm between rows. A sowing made about two months before the first frost is suitable for an autumn harvest. Label successive rows so baby-leaf and full-size plantings remain easy to distinguish.

Blue-green foliage becomes sweeter after a light frost and can be eaten young in salads or cooked at maturity. Cool harvested leaves promptly and keep them refrigerated.
