AGM winning Winterbor F1 has finely curled blue-green leaves held on tall plants: this kale stands out visually, taste wise it offers everything you would want – good robust flavour and texture without stringiness from the ribs. Hardy and very productive, regrowing vigorously so your harvest can go on and on
SOW & GROW: late April to early June, in modules/pots or a seed bed. Transplant when large enough and space them at 50cm apart. Keep watered in dry weather.
ENJOY: Winterbor comes into its own from November onwards when you can start cutting leaves for cooking. Cut leaves from several plants each time, this will encourage Winterbor to resprout vigorously. From February harvest the side-shoots at 10-12cm. Your kale crop will finish when flowers buds form. Although traditionally served with egg and fish dishes. Kale can also be used in salad, soup, stew and stir fry or be served as a side veg. Kale is at its best when eaten picked fresh from the garden.
