Without frost, some varieties grow to 8-9’ tall. Members of the oleracea group will cross: kale, collards, Chinese broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussels sprouts, kohlrabi and broccoli. Brassica napus is divided into three subspecies. The Rutabaga, Swedes in England, is ssp. napobrassica or rapifera and are grown for their swollen stems\/roots that resemble turnips (B. raps). Siberian Kales and Hanover Salad are ssp. pabularis or pabularia and are grown for their leaves that resemble those of European kales (B. oleracea). Winter rape and canola are ssp. oleifera and are grown for their edible leaves, livestock forage, or for the oil rich seed. For B. napus, see Siberian Kale.

I already loved growing vegetables, but taking a plant all the way through its life cycle felt like a special kind of honor, and I quickly saw the value in sustaining organic, important, and rare plant varieties and participating in sustainable food systems in this way. I moved to Oregon in 2015 and have been growing my organic seed farming business over the last four seasons by renting land from existing farms and slowly taking on higher volumes and more varieties. I’m currently growing 1.6 acres of certified organic seed crops and heirloom garlic.","brand":"RESTORATION SEEDS","offers":[{"title":"200 Seeds","offer_id":845771093,"sku":"12354","price":4.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2000 Seeds","offer_id":40463362293802,"sku":"","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Ounce","offer_id":40463362359338,"sku":"","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0129\/8922\/products\/Black-Magic-kale_150729-056.jpg?v=1497595980"},{"product_id":"premier-kale","title":"Premier","description":"\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/restorationseeds.mom\/pages\/table-menu1\"\u003eBrassica oleracea capitata\u003c\/a\u003e##\u003cdiv class=\"how-to-grow-trigger how-to-grow-title\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"label\"\u003eHOW TO GROW KALE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"icon-down-arrow\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"how-to-grow-content\"\u003eStart indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost, plant out 4 weeks before last frost.

It has been part of the surviving kale tribe since the deepest freezes of the mid 90s. When we grew it at Gathering Together Farm last winter, the vigor, health, and performance in a commercial setting was impressive to everyone, including Rodrigo, who harvested a treasure of “kale raab” from it during the hungry gap, before spring has arrived and markets are spare. He commented on the caliper of the tender stems, their weight, and sweetness. Leaves grey-green with purple-red veins and stems. Sow mid-July through late August. First leaves are flat, becoming more rumpled, edged with ruffled margins, and extra heavy by time bunching begins. In climates with winters above 5-10°F, most plants will live to produce red napini (aka “kale raab”) from late March through April—a welcome finale to production here. Super quality seed!

The seed business was an adjunct to our Wild Garden Salad business until September of 2001, when we left salad selling behind and rededicated all of our energies to making a livelihood as seed growers, breeders, and sellers. There were some very tough years there. In 2002 we began a joint venture with our friends John Eveland and Sally Brewer, owners of Gathering Together Farm, to grow and sell organic seed under the Wild Garden name. Gathering Together Farm provided the infrastructure, means of production, and home office services, Shoulder to Shoulder Farm provided the seed management, processing, research, and marketing. We shared many complimentary farm functions over the years: the insectary benefits of diverse flowers in a long period of blooming, the harvest synergies of biennial crop production together, peaks and ebbs in farming cash flow, and seasonally opportune infrastructure sharing. All of these made the farm function better and helped lift Wild Garden Seed into a self-sustaining, farm-based seed enterprise with an international reach. We sold seed to 41 countries in 2014, our 20th anniversary.","brand":"RESTORATION SEEDS","offers":[{"title":"200 Seeds","offer_id":3954844805,"sku":"13944","price":4.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2000 Seeds","offer_id":3954844869,"sku":"13945","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Ounce","offer_id":3954844933,"sku":"13946","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/4 lb","offer_id":31395919691818,"sku":"","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0129\/8922\/products\/Red-Ruffled-siberian-kale-_IMG_0974_0438fd12-bf73-48b7-a78e-0ae572282a60.jpg?v=1487923971"},{"product_id":"red-winter-kale","title":"Red Winter","description":"\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/restorationseeds.mom\/pages\/table-menu1\"\u003eBrassica oleracea capitata\u003c\/a\u003e##\n\u003cdiv class=\"how-to-grow-trigger how-to-grow-title\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"label\"\u003eHOW TO GROW KALE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"icon-down-arrow\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"how-to-grow-content\"\u003eStart indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost, plant out 4 weeks before last frost.

Back in 1990, Nash planted 3 acres of a kale variety called Vates, a green kale with frilly leaves. He noticed 2 bright purple plants in the middle of the sea of green. They were “sports,” or plants that had randomly mutated on their own. Realizing he could encourage this purple color, Nash dug up the 2 plants and isolated them in his home garden. He surrounded them with 10 Brussels sprouts plants so they would pollinate each other, because he also wanted eventually to achieve a kale plant with the height of the Brussels sprouts and with leaves that could be harvested from lower to upper levels as the plant grew. This would make it easier to harvest, and the farm could get several bunches of kale per plant, making it more profitable. “That was a lot to ask,” Nash says. “But I thought I may as well go for it!”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome of the offspring of the kale sport\/Brussels sprout cross showed these characteristics. But it took many seasons of planting and cross-pollinating, before Nash and his team were able to consistently get kale with the desired traits. However, about 5% of the plants continued to be green instead of purple. With the help of Dr. John Navazio of Organic Seed Alliance in Port Townsend, they were able to greatly reduce the number of plants manifesting the green color. This year, 2014, the farm was finally able to sell seed to other farmers, relatively confident that they would get the crop they were expecting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNash’s Red Kale also has a bonus benefit—cold-hardiness. It can reliably survive in temperatures down into the teens and has become a mainstay winter kale.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is NOT “genetic modification” as in GMOs created by Monsanto. Nash only influenced how those original sports were pollinated. He did not forcibly inject the genetic material from one completely different species into another in a laboratory as biotech companies do. He used the classical seed breeding methods that farmers have safely used throughout the history of agriculture.

When baby plants are 3-5 inches tall, transplant into 1 or 2 gallon pots. Plant the larger plants into garden beds in the fall. Perennial kale is also easy to direct sow into a well prepared garden bed. Keep watered and weeded while they establish. Propagation through a cutting is also possible during cooler months of fall, winter or spring. Cut a side branch of the plant, and stick it in a garden bed or nursery pot. Keep moist while the new roots develop. These plants typically live for 3 years before slowing their production of leaves. Soil pH 6.6-7.5. Hardiness zones 6-10.

The leaves are nutritious and delicious! This is a grex type, which means that the plants are genetically diverse, and so one can expect a variety of different colors, leaf shapes, and forms. The plants do well in hot, arid conditions and yet also have cold hardiness down to zone 6 without protection from the elements. They grow 3’ ft wide, by 5’ tall on average. Homesteader’s Perennial Kale was bred by Chris Homanics of Head, Hands, and Heart in NW Oregon and Washington. Also known as perpetual kale, bush kale, and branching kale. Homesteader’s Kaleidescopic Perennial Kale Grex is released under the OSSI (Open Source Seed Initiative) license to protect this important genetic material from large multinational seed conglomerates that might seek to patent or otherwise control it.
