Margalot Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Hi, I am growing some Kale plants for my OH he loves the stuff me... I have 8 plants that have gone mad since putting in about 6 weeks ago, but is it too early to take some of the bigger bottom leaves off? As the plant is still growing I dont want to take the youngest leaves just yet. Just needed some advice as I thought i wouldn't be picking leaves until late summer?? and didn't want to kill it! As we have quite a few plants could I get away with taking a few leaves off each one for dinner?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couperwife Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 we did Kale last year (the chooks love it ) yes, you can pull the bottom leaves off, its like a cut and come again type thing, but you take the lower leaves enjoy cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
