when is kale past picking to eat
Plants grown from seed require 70 to 80 days from sowing to reach a mature size. The time of year and weather affects the harvest time. Kale grows best in cool weather when temperatures are below 80 degrees Fahrenheit and it can tolerate freezing, but the plant grows more slowly when its below 32 degrees. Kale planted in late summer is usually ready for harvest in early fall, while winter and spring kale is ready in late spring or early summer.
