I pulled the netting back off the kale this morning and stood there a while.
Lifted a leaf. Palm-sized, which is about right for kale in the first week of June. I knew that going in. I still gave the bed the look you give a kid who’s taking his time. All these years and I still want it bigger when I lift the netting.
The netting keeps the flea beetles and cabbage moths off without a spray. It works. It also means I only see the kale when I lift it.
