One of the reasons I avoided kale or spinach is I was advised by my doc years ago. They are both high in vitamin K and I have been prone to dvt’s and blood clots. I am on a blood thinner now probably forever, so I figure it’s OK to eat now. Got my seeds at the local hardware - variety is Red Russian. Can you save seeds from kale?

“Can you save seeds from kale?”

You and I don’t have a long enough growing season to get them to go to flower and set seed in one season. If you cover them and let them overwinter, or we get a big dump of insulating SNOW before we get the frigid temps, they’ll bloom in the spring if they make it.

Mine overwintered year before last, and they did go to flower, so I left them alone so the pollinators could enjoy the flowers, but then I pulled them because they were taking up valuable real estate in the garden.
