Garden Growth Guide:

Cultivating Kalettes is a delightful journey. Here’s how:

  1. Optimal Sunlight: Plant them in a sunny area with well-drained soil to ensure they flourish and produce a bountiful harvest.
  2. Adequate Spacing: Provide enough space between plants to accommodate their mature size, typically about 18-24 inches apart in rows.
  3. Regular Care: Keep the soil consistently moist and provide support for the plants as they grow, especially when laden with the unique Kalettes.

Harvesting Delight:

As your Kalettes plants mature, they will produce petite, frilly rosettes that combine the mild, nutty flavour of Brussels sprouts with the earthy notes of kale. Harvest them when the rosettes are about 1-2 inches in diameter, usually from late fall through winter.

Culinary Creativity:

Kalettes, with their distinctive flavour and versatility, are perfect for a range of dishes. Here are a couple of culinary ideas:

  1. Sautéed Kalettes: Heat olive oil in a pan, add garlic, and sauté the Kalettes until they are tender and slightly crispy. Season with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon juice for a quick and delicious side dish.
  2. Roasted Kalettes: Toss the Kalettes with olive oil, salt, and your favourite seasonings. Roast in the oven until they’re slightly caramelized and crispy, making for a delightful addition to any meal.
  3. Kalettes and Quinoa Bowl: Create a wholesome grain bowl by pairing steamed Kalettes with cooked quinoa, roasted sweet potatoes, and a drizzle of tahini dressing. A nutritious and flavourful meal that’s perfect for lunch or dinner.

What to do when your plants arrive

  1. Unpack them. Your seedlings will arrive carefully packed in bio-degradable straw, cardboard and paper. They may look a little bit bedraggled from their journey. Don’t panic – this is totally normal and they should soon perk up. Please try and unpack your plants as soon as they arrive, as every extra hour they spend in the box will add to the stress of travelling to their new home.
  2. Give them a drink. Having spent a day or two in the post, your new plants will be thirsty! Stand them up in some fresh water for a few minutes to make sure their roots have been thoroughly soaked before planting.
  3. Plant them out into their forever home! Your plants can’t wait to get their roots into the soil. Plant them out according to the instructions that will have come in the box with them. Make sure you water them in well, and give them plenty to drink until their roots have had a chance to get settled.
