Started growing kale a few years ago and it became one of my favourite things to grow on the balcony.
Some of these are grown from seeds, and some from side sprouts of my older dinosaur kale.
The best thing about kale is that the plant can keep producing leaves for a long time.
I grow my kale plants in pots, with well draining potting mix, daily watering, and a bit of Bio Plus 8-8-8 after each harvest. Morning sunlight is enough for the plants, after all they are cool climate crops.
My favourite varieties are dinosaur kale, black Tuscan and dwarf green curled. These give me the best yield and are nice for salads.
