As far as the gala mache, 3 in. apart on package?, I guess that means 16 per ft. I know nothing about kale. Is it like spinach or collards?

I planted Winterbor Kale in the spring and put 4 to a square. Apparently Winterbor is a giant kale. It was too much, I'm planting 1 per square in the fall garden. But it kept on producing through July. I will adjust again in the spring if 1 is too little.

Since I am going to Utah for the winter...I cut the remaining leaves off the kale and couldnt pull the main stem & root up yesterday....today I went out and the old stems are leafing out with new growth.....leaves....I am really surprised....so I dont have the heart to pull the 9 plants up......I will let my neighbor baby sit them from now on and will journal their existance......Ruth

Kale is also something that keeps growing in the Philippine garden. Same thing happened. They stripped the plants thinking they were finished but didn't get the stalk pulled. 3 weeks later there was a small harvest ready. They are growing the dwarf curley leaf kale, but I took some winterbor and red winterbor seed to them early Sep.

I got the Italian Heirloom Kale Lacinato aka dinosaur kale

View this type of Kale here

By the looks of the pic' maybe I should only place one per square (dunno).

seems to me the smaller plants would yield more leaves that would be more tender....
