Watering (Garden): Water plants daily to get roots established (about two weeks). Once established, water only as required.

Harvesting: Cut leaves in 30 days for baby kale. The entire plant can be harvested in 60 days. Multiple sowings will ensure a continuous supply. Flavour is sweeter when leaves get nipped by frost.
