The kale has been doing well on my fire escape garden. With the weather dropping into the 20s, I decided it was time to harvest and eat it because that’s what it’s there for.
In harvesting my lettuce, I learned that you should pick the outer most leaves. Otherwise the plant will bolt. Personally, I don’t want it to bolt and want it to keep producing more food for me.
After I picked me some kale salad for lunch, I put the small plastic greenhouse back over it. The question that I have no is will it continue to grow in this 20 degree temperature?

Totally off topic…but what kind of accent do you have? It sounds part Australian and part Californian?
Off topic Fern. Unacceptable. It's a Brooklyn accent, but I get Australian, Boston, Brooklyn, English…
Love Kale! Especially with pasta and sun dried tomatoes! Looks like you got a good haul! 🙂
Luckily I was able to harvest it before the snow storm. I've been killin the kale salads lately.
Amazing what can be grown in the most limited of places!
I live in Wyoming and we have already had -20 degrees here and our kale is still growing wonderfully. Actually, it gets much sweeter, the colder it gets…awesome stuff, we have it at every meal.
If you want it, anything is possible.
Wow. Unfortunately mine died, but I think it was for a variety of reasons. Need to correct that for 2010. How often you add compost and fertilizer?
