This curly green kale is the result of years of selection by Oregon’s Don Tipping of Seven Seeds Farm, and we just love it! Leaves are tender and frilly. Plants are taller than Blu e Curled Vates, which is good if you can’t keep up with the weeds. We love how easy kale is to grow - plant once in the spring and you quickly have greens that grow all the way through fall (and even into winter if the plants are protected). The breeding of Alive Vates began as a large population of six different strains of green curly kale which were exposed to a frosty Oregon winter with outdoor temperatures as low as 5°F – the survivors were then let to cross with each other. The result is a “grex” – a diverse population of plants from which Don continues to select for desired traits. Great for all kale uses but especially for kale chips and massaged kale salad.
