| I have a beautiful crop of kale this year, I have been using it for kale chips almost every day which are wonderful, in soups and smoothies. Anyone know of a way to preserve it? |

| It will keep deep into the fall and early winter. Best way to make it last. |

| In climates of light frost, it lasts all year long and is just a wonderful cut and come again plant. Jim in So Calif |

| I freeze both collards and kale, but wait until the nights cool down. The greens that go into the freezer in October are the best. |

| I grow Russian Red. I've blanched and frozen it, but I'd agree with the posters above - the best is to keep it growing all winter - even here, zone 5, with temps down to the single digits, as long as the soil is moist it's still growing - slowly - and just tastes wonderful. Protect it from the deer. |
