The best thing is that you show how many days from seed to transplanting. I have been rushing the process. Gardeners need patience! Great videos, thank you.
I enjoy you, you're music, and just the humbleness in all. No drawn out talking but just simplicity and chillness. Thanks! Please give a musical tour of your garden if you can. Latz!
This channel is a PERFECT 10👍 for gardening tips. You suggested diluted fish fertilizer during growing season. Is it best to use liquid fertilizer in fall and dry or granules during spring/summer? Thanks for this excellent channel.
Wow, delighted to see your comment. For fast growing leafy vegetables I prefer to use liquid fertilizer for its quick effect. If you will harvest for a long period, dry organic fertilizer works too. For green crops, blood meal is a great choice. I hope this answers your question and thank you so much for your support!😊🙌
I had them in a location with about 6 hours of sun. Kale can do well in anything between 4 to 8 hours of sun. The good thing about planters is that you can move them around so plants get the best sunlight. Hope this helps and thank you so much for your comment!
Great video. I have learned so much from your videos. Do you not press your soil down after adding to the cells or is it really necessary for good germination. Thanks
So glad you enjoyed the videos. You can lightly firm seeds in place but avoid making soil packed. This will make it easy for roots to develop and also when you water, the soil will get compact as required. Hope this helps and thank you so much for your comment!
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEOS! 💛 When you stated to "thin to one seedling per plug", are you throwing away the sprouted seedling or should it be planted in a different container?
It depends if you have room to grow extra seedlings. I usually have enough seedlings and with my limited garden space, I just toss them in my salad or compost them. Kale seedlings will be fine if you replant them in another container. It is totally up to you. I hope this helps and thank you so much for your comment!😊
Kale is a cool crop and usually I don't have that much issue with pests like I do in summer time, but I have used neem oil and Spinosad mix few times. If you don't want to use any sprays, cover them with a garden netting. I hope this helps and thank you for your comment!
I don't have a specific seed brand and usually get my seeds from different places. This particular kale seed is from Botanical interests. Thank you so much for your comment!
We have mild winters and usually grow cool weather crops such as kale in late fall thru early spring. Kale performs well in cold, but if it is too cold, germinate seeds in a controlled condition and you can transfer them outside. Happy growing and thank you for visiting!
Kale is a cool weather crop and if you want to start in May, you might not get the best result. I suggest to start in late summer or early fall (Aug-Sep). happy growing and thank you for visiting.
I prefer to start my seeds in a controlled media with no nutrients or soil fungi. This is to make sure disease like "damping off" don't effect seeds/seedlings. I suggest to sow few extra seeds in different media so if some don't germinate ,you don't miss your growing season. But direct sowing is definetely doable too. Happy growing and thank you for visiting.
@@tinakrliu3610 Not indoors, I keep my seedlings outside in a sheltered place. A cold frame or a clear storage tote with clear lid are great options if the weather is vey cold (below 40F). Thank you for visiting.
Guessing 6-8 plants should be good, not sure though. I think you will need to sow new seeds every few weeks for a continuous harvest. Thanks for getting in touch!!
I make my own soil mix and you can find the detail on how I do that here: ruclips.net/video/Xdi9kwEA_X0/видео.htmlsi=QvQjcCSPXnJIK1O5 . But if you want to use a bagged mix, general purpose potting soil available in garden centers will do the job too www.homedepot.com/p/Kellogg-Garden-Organics-1-5-cu-ft-Patio-Plus-Premium-Outdoor-Organic-Potting-Mix-681/100160888 . You can get it from amazon also but to would be expensive . Adding 1/3 chicken manure to any potting mix it will be great too. Hope this helps and thank you for visiting!
Since kale is a cold crop, I usually don't have much problem with bugs. I check the leaves daily and if I see any signs of pest, and depending on the type, I use neem oil mix or spinosad mix which both are organic. If you don't want to use any sprays, covering them with garden netting is a great option too. Hope this answers your question and thanks for visiting.
Im in new mexico , is there a link for the seeds and soil? Thank you, I've never planted kale or anything besides cucumbers and tomatoes lol. ( newbie) ❤

Happy growing and thank you very much for your comment!🌱
Yes, you can sow seed directly in the pots. It increases the chances of seedling disease such as "damping off" but it is doable. Thank you for visiting.

Have you made a video about radish? If not, can you please do it? It would be really helpful
Good suggestion. I will try to post a video on radish soon. Thank you very much for your comment!
was this done over the winter ... I'm trying to grow in Michigan and it gets really cold here

The first phase indoors or outdoors
Kale is a cool weather crop and if it above 60F (15C), you can keep seedling outdoors. Thanks for visiting.
Thank you
Glad you like it. Thank you so much for your comment!😊
Is it a cut and grow back type plant
Yes, it grows back after harvest until warm season. Thank you for visiting!
Is May still good time to seeds ?
Kale is a cool weather crop and if you want to start in May, you might not get the best result. I suggest to start in late summer or early fall (Aug-Sep). happy growing and thank you for visiting.
Can I follow this guide for other kale varieties, like the non-curly types?
Sure, the process should be the same. Thank you for visiting.
Should I water every day, because I have noticed that they wilt?
Yes, if it is getting hot and they wilt, water daily. Happy growing.
@@TowardGarden Thank you so much, I really love your videos.
Love to hear it. Thank you
Is there a benefit of planting seedlings versus direct sowing seeds into containers/grow bags?
I prefer to start my seeds in a controlled media with no nutrients or soil fungi. This is to make sure disease like "damping off" don't effect seeds/seedlings.

did you fertlizer these?
Yes, I used diluted liquid fish fertilizer 5-1-1 for its quick effect. Thank you for visiting.
@@TowardGarden i just put mater majic on 1 container and see if it works its a slow realse
@@bbhong-v5i Happy growing!
I plan on eating about a cup of kale every other day, how many kale plants would you recommend could sustain that amount of consumption?
Guessing 6-8 plants should be good, not sure though. I think you will need to sow new seeds every few weeks for a continuous harvest. Thanks for getting in touch!!
What kind of soil do i need?

Can u just put the seeds in the containers
Yes, you can sow seed directly in the pots. It increases the chances of seedling disease such as "damping off" but it is doable. Thank you for visiting.

Thank you for visiting!😊🐸
my kale is growing straight up like a skinny stem... I had to redo it deeper cause it makes no sense.
Maybe it is a different variety, so not getting enough light. But repotting deeper is a good choice. thanks for visiting!
