Kale is a wonderful fall crop, the plants can withstand several light frosts and soil temperatures down to 20 degrees. Since it is getting pretty late in the season, choose a short season variety such as Winterbor that grows to maturity in 60 days but can be harvested as small tender leaves as early as 28 days. In fact, a freeze actually makes them taste sweeter as with many other cool season crops like brussels sprouts.
