Winterbor Kale
55-65 days. An outstanding Dutch hybrid, Winterbor's finely-curled, blue-green leaves grow lushly on plants growing to 2' tall. It is suitable for sowing in early spring or late summer for winter harvest. Tolerant of frost and snow, Winterbor lends itself to successive cuttings. Dutch folks take this vegetable seriously since Kale is served in many a hearty winter meal. Often it will be boiled, chopped finely and spooned onto a bed of mashed Potatoes. The traditional accompaniment is rookwurst, a savory smoked sausage and gravy. (F1.)

The cornerstone of traditional Southern cooking and kitchen gardens, these leafy green vegetables include Mustard Greens, Collard Greens, Kale and Turnip Greens. Customarily simmered for hours with salt pork or ham hocks, the best way to preserve their wonderful flavors, textures and color is to quickly braise or saute them in olive oil and Garlic. Most Southern Greens prefer cool weather, although Collard Greens are wonderfully tolerant of summer heat. Direct sow Collard, Mustard and Turnip Greens outdoors in the early spring as soon as the soil can be worked and in the late summer for fall harvest.
