My curl kale plants have been in the ground for a month, they have grown well but are trying to flower already. I wanted them to last the summer. Should I pull them out?

I came across a real winner - check eBay store "items2buy4". Australian based; all my seeds have sprouted and the Red Kale is absolutely flying along.

i have 10 acres in Gisborne, Victoria and want to utilise 5 acres for growing a crop for added income, is this possible do you think with kale? How much does it sell for?

Hi all to anyone growing kale for the first time the only thing II have found that will prevent you from having a healthy on going crop will be the dreaded white cabbage moth.. Igrow mine in drums with netting that way no other insects or pests will upset them. keeping pests of once and for all will prevent any need for any type of sprays or chemicals good luck

Darren, is the white cabbage moth a tiny moth that leaves black specks all over the plant? Ive got few leaves left and the new growth disappears very quickly. I like the idea of the netting but need to rid myself of the pest first. Is eco-oil ( MITICIDE/INSECTICIDE) ok to use on them?

Hi Ray, Yes I do this with all kale varieties, picking the other leaves along a row, you get months out of it this way. its very hardy for most climates as gradient reflects 8 degrees to 30 degree soil temp. For the white cabbage moth I don't have as much trouble with it on kale as I do other cabbage family crops in Brisbane so I don't spread it. Those that like a simple boiled brew of chillies, garlic and a small amount of natural soap are a good way to keep pests off, there are lots of natural sprays online. Hope this helps Scottie Jason thanks for the plug too mate, glad the seeds are going well.
