Kale keeps yellowing
Hey all, first time poster!
Having all kinds of trouble with my kale leaves turning yellow! Some of my lettuce is now also turning. Have a 4x4 with a custom built frame with row cover to keep bugs at bay. Tried fertilizing, adding spent coffee ground and spraying with mag/cal liquid. They just keep yellowing until the whole stem and leaf turn! I have strwaberries in there that are doing awesome!! Some lettuce also that is now starting to do the yellowing thing too!! I'm really bummed cause I want this to work but I'm not sure what to do next!!! Help please!!!

Re: Kale keeps yellowing
kygolfpro, First, welcome to the Forum from California! Kale and lettuce are cool weather crops where I live. Some varieties of lettuce can tolerate the heat if they are mostly shaded, especially from afternoon and evening sun.
Hopefully, someone from your area will give you some pointers on these crops.

Re: Kale keeps yellowing
What variety of Kale are you growing. Kale naturally tends to turn yellow on the lower leaves. I've found the key is to pick them young often. Winterbor seems to be especially prone toward this
