About Kale
Kale is one of the hardiest vegetables available — it survives hard frosts and tastes sweeter after a freeze.
Sow indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost or direct sow in late summer for fall harvest. Harvest outer leaves to keep the plant producing. Cold-hardy varieties survive winter in Zone 7+.
Gardening in Yukon
Yukon has a subarctic continental climate with extreme cold winters but surprisingly warm and long summer days. Whitehorse is Zone 1b-2a. Some vegetables succeed with cold frames and fast-maturing varieties.
