Description
We're starting them for you! We're excited to offer plug bundles for our Blue Ridge Kale. Blue Ridge Kale is a hybrid variety with increased productivity and early maturation. It is similar to Darkibor or Winterbor, but with better production and leaves with a deeper blue coloration. Blue Ridge leaves have a crisp texture and crinkled appearance, which make them a great ingredient for raw kale salads. The crinkled leaves provide a great surface area for absorption by sauces and dressings. It is also a great variety for soups and sautéed kale preparations. It will hold its color and texture well after cooking.
Blue Ridge Kale is a multiple-harvest crop that will keep producing throughout the entire year. It is a cold-tolerant crop but is also resistant to bolting during warmer months. If planted in early spring, it can often be grown throughout the entire year. It can also be planted in fall and will produce throughout the winter and into spring. Harvest the bottom leaves, keeping a few leaves at the top so the plant can continue to photosynthesize and grow. After multiple harvests, plants will resemble a mini palm tree with stalks that continue to grow upward and produce new leaves. Stalks can get as tall as 4-5′ in some cases.
*Note - limited quantity available each week, plugs will be shipped on Mondays & Tuesdays beginning in September through October 7th.*
