- You may have hoped to save kale seeds and they never showed up. Why? We will look at that. But saving seeds does not only save you money it also helps your plants adapt their genetics or epigenetics to your property and climate. Kale seed saving has one hurdle to overcome and if you do this one thing you will be able to save seeds and never have to buy them again.
It may sound strange, but this video was a literal answer to my prayers from this morning. God is good and thank you for allowing Him to use you in this ministry🙏🏾 God bless!
Wow, glad to hear it. God bless.
I have Kale that i left through out the winter, it went to lovely yellow flowers and now I have tons and tons and tons of the pods!! Yay for me. Thank you!!
Congratulations. It is beautiful.
This is happening in my garden. I planted/ate Kale last year. They came back this spring and I have been eating from them. They are going to seed now!
Thank you so much for this! Love carrot, kale and beets
I love all the greens and green veges! Thank you for this information!
I am a fan of green veggies also.
My kale I kept through winter went to seed, all good, but now its over 6ft tall xD
It grew 5ft in one month haha. Love to see nature in action like that.
It's much more manageable than when radishes go to seed... giant bushes haha.
I really want to landrace a bunch of brassicas.
Thank you so much for this video on kale. I live in florida zone 9B…I just grew Lacinato Kale and collards this year..I was going to pull up my kale plants (August) but knowing now that they are biannual…Hopefully they will seed this spring..My collards bolted and it was their first year. Saved tons of seeds. Much blessings
Blessings to you. You are welcome.

Thank you for this exceptional information
You are welcome. Blessings.
Hi. Thank you for the information. Your channel teaches me a lot and it is appreciated.
Glad to hear that! Thanks for watching. Blessings.
I'm in zone 5a. I made the mistake of planting purple kale to close to an invasive plant 3 years ago. So I let it go wild. Thinking it would die off. Nope it's still here with no care from me.
Lucky you!. You may get perpetual supply of Kale. I've read that certain types of Kales are native to Turkey, Iran, Siberia etc. and they grow in the wild.
Thanks for sharing this save the kale seeds
How long do the seed pods take to mature?
Until the seed pods dry
Thank you!
Does all this information apply to ornamental kale, too?
Mine went to seed , I cut them off and hung them in a cool place. Now the original plant has new leaves forming. When should I plant the seeds I ‘ve collected. I live in zone 8a. Could I start them under a grow light?
Thank you for the video. It was very informative.
If you do the fridge suggestion, could you do more than one crop by tricking them this way?
Thank you 🙏🏻
You are welcome. Blessings.

Video I would like to see is colloidal silver. Is what everyone claims about it true? Is it toxic? I think there is a lot of misinformation about it out there.
Please don’t use colloidal silver. It has very little evidence to show that it’s effective for anything other than maybe some minor anti-microbial properties when used topically.
The body has no biological use for silver, and has difficulty getting rid of it, so it can cause irreversible disfigurement by discoloring your tissues, in particular your skin and the whites of your eyes. The condition is called argyria.
There are many natural botanical ingredients that show far more beneficial effects for multiple conditions, if you don’t want to use artificial pharmaceuticals.
1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 "Make it your ambition in life to work with your hands, mind your own business, and be self-sufficient. " This verse backs up the point that anything you are buying with a shelf life or from a store may not be the best for you. However, silver is not needed if your diet is healthy and sustainable. "Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food. " Hippocrates
We all need to turn to our own gardening and self-sufficient ways and stop believing and buying from this corrupt FDA system.
I like kallette hybrid
My kale grew tall can I cut them short? And will it continue to grow?
I cut off the top when the flowers start to come out and it keeps growing.
My Kale is going to seed now. its shooting out the seed pods. Do I wait for the plant and pods to turn brown and brittle to make sure they are mature as I want seeds that are ready to go after some time.
Wait until pods have dried out (it's stem under the pod will die/dry out too).
What if I pulled the stem before the pod turns brown ??
How do you store them in the fridge? Do you cover in napkin or in a bag or container?
If you were asking about seed storage, use zip-lock bags or sealed container. (dont use freezer section of refrigerator)
What is the coldest they will survive?
It depends what cultivar you have. (There are something like 70+ types of Kales).
The purple Kale I got last year from a local greenhouse, survived upto -20ºC (which were sub-arctic temps for about one week) and rest of winter temps (-10ºC) with lots of snow, freezing and thawing cycles. It had no protection.
Only it's leaves were burnt, but it perked up this year (spring), flowered and seeded. Seed pods are still green but plant is now producing more and more branches without any flowers (My Canadian cold hardiness zone is 6b).
(Previously I have grown dinosaur kale and curly kales: both could survive frosts, but didnt survive winter).
If you live in a colder climate, you can plant some Kales in the pots and try not to harvest too many leaves. When winter arrives, move those pots indoors (kitchen/basement etc). When winter is over, move them back outdoors after the frosting days of spring are over. They will flower and produce seeds during that spring/summer. Hope this helps.
@@moecreations1 if your plant survived -20 for a while, that’s the plant I’d be trying to grow out more and see which of its seeds is even hardier. We got a spell of -38. I shall leave my kale alone this year and see if any survive under the snow.
@@karenwilliams5724 : I would suggest getting purple or Siberian Kale as well. Also, if plant/ground is covered with some snow almost all winter long, snow itself would give some protection from extreme cold temps. Search/watch some videos about how people are building/protecting their gardens in Alaska too. Good luck!
