Sow in pots under cover. Cover seeds with a thin layer of soil. Transplant a first time in the nursery when plants have 2 to 3 leaves, every 10 cm, so that the roots take on "hair" before being put in place. Transplant when plants have 4 to 5 leaves, every 50 cm in rows spaced 50 cm apart, without burying the stem too deeply. For sowing in the open ground, sow lightly in rows spaced 50 cm apart. Thin out to 50 cm along the row.
The most advanced leaves are harvested from autumn to spring.

This variety was developed by John Eveland of Gathering Together Farm in Oregon, from the "Wild Garden Kales" variety. According to Frank Morton, it's a fine example of real genetic diversity applied to food production.
