It was a total surprise when I found these tiny little plants peeking at me out of the soil. I only planted them on Tuesday evening, so I was not expecting them to sprout for 1-2 weeks. But here it is, Saturday afternoon, and they're already growing.
Part of my excitement also stems from the fact that I am growing these plants in a pot in my basement bedroom. More acquainted with growing vegetables directly in the ground, I must admit I am a little intimidated by the idea of potted kale. However, I guess that if there's dirt, water, and sunlight they should grow fine. In fact, so many seedlings are sprouting up that I may have to transplant some of them into another pot (I got a little enthusiastic about how many seeds I planted because I REALLY like kale).
But anyway, here's a picture of my kale!
