![]() Kale likes full sun during the cool season, about six hours of sunlight per day. My favorites are Miracle-Gro Potting Mix and Fox Farm Ocean Forest Potting Soil Mix. Avoid using garden soil in containers, as the consistency isn’t designed for optimal drainage in a container, and garden soil may harbor pests and fungi.Īlways use the best quality potting mix you can, to be sure you’re getting good moisture control and the right balance of organic matter and nutrients. So fill the container with high quality potting mix and water it well. Kale does best in loamy, well-drained soil. I have kale in fabric grow bags and it thrives season after season! This year I let it go dormant in fall in the fabric container, and it happily re-emerged in late winter.įabric grow bags are seriously my favorite container garden container (I grow just about everything in these things, from kale to peas to pumpkins).įor kale I recommend 20-gallon fabric grow bags (20″ diameter, 16″ depth) or 15-gallon fabric grow bags (20″ diameter, 12″ depth). Small pots don’t have enough room for kale to grow hearty roots. ![]() Kale can grow anywhere from 24” to 48” tall and 12” to 24” wide – so it needs a good-sized pot.Ĭhoose a container that’s at least 12″ deep and has good drainage (either 1-2 drainage holes or a fabric bottom). ![]() Transplant into individual pots when they are 4-6″ tall. Once they germinate, thin out the seedlings so that only the strongest ones remain. Kale germinates within 5-10 days and can mature as soon as 30-60 days! That’s fast! Place the pot in a warm, sunny location and keep an eye out for germination. Mist the container to keep seeds moist but not soggy. (You can also sow in potting soil directly in the container you’re using for the season.) That’s what I use, and I’ve had good results with both and highly recommend these brands. You can use a soilless seed-starting medium like coconut coir or Miracle-Gro seed-starting mix in a seed-starting tray. Transplant kale seedlings after about 4 weeks - and be sure to harden off your seedlings!įor best results, sow seeds thinly on the surface of your seed-starting mix, no more than ¼” deep. You can also start indoors in early spring, 6 weeks before your area’s average last frost date. If you live in a very warm climate and plan to grow kale over the winter, you can plant anytime in the fall. It’s worth planting early to make the most of those cool temperatures! Kale prefers soil temperatures in the 60-75 degree range. If you live in a cold climate, you can sow a bit later in spring, but don’t wait too long. If growing in spring or summer, sow kale seeds outside about 4 weeks before your average last frost date (find yours on this frost date calculator).įor a fall planting, sow about 6 weeks before your average first frost date. Growing kale from seed is relatively easy. There are three main varieties of kale most commonly used for culinary purposes: Kale in my container garden, sharing a fabric grow bag with some lettuce Best kale varieties for containers If you buy something through these links, we may earn a small commission at no cost to you. ![]() Read on for all the details about growing your own kale in pots, and try some this season! It’s a relatively easy plant to grow and doesn’t require a lot of maintenance, which really does make it perfect for beginner gardeners.Īnd best of all, it’s easy to grow your own! Kale grows FAST, maturing in as little as 30 days with minimal care. ![]() Like most leafy greens, kale prefers full sun but will tolerate partial shade. It’s technically a biennial grown as an annual, so it is possible to get more than one season from one plant. In fact, it can withstand temperatures as low as 20 degrees F! In very warm climates, kale can be grown as a winter crop. Kale is a cool weather crop that can be planted in the spring or fall. It’s a superfood favorite, often used in smoothies, salads, soups, and stir fries. Kale originates from the Mediterranean and has been popular in European cuisine for centuries. Growing kale in pots is easy – and it’s awesome to have fresh kale right outside your kitchen door!ĭid you know kale is a type of cabbage, closely related to collard greens and Brussels sprouts? It doesn’t form a head the same way cabbage does, but they share many other characteristics and growing condition preferences. Kale is a nutrient-rich leafy green that thrives in container gardens, much like lettuce, spinach and other greens. It’s a versatile, cold-hardy crop that isn’t fussy about conditions, making it a great starter plant for beginner gardeners. ![]() ![]() Social Web members are asked to act responsibly when rating places the Social Web reserves the right to remove any inappropriate remarks.

This is more or less the premise of The Dragonbone Chair, the first book in Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn trilogy by Tad Williams. And Simon-a kitchen boy in the royal castle of Hayholt-will involuntarily find his fate tangled in all the chaos to unfold caused by the inevitable death of John, the scourge of the Sithi and wielder of the sword Bright-Nail. The vengeful undead ruler of the Sithi, The Storm King, aims to seize this chance to return and regain his lost realm. A civil war for The Dragonbone Chair is about to start. “He who is certain he knows the ending of things when he is only beginning them is either extremely wise or extremely foolish no matter which is true, he is certainly an unhappy man, for he has put a knife in the heart of wonder.”Ī war fueled by the powers of dark sorcery is about to engulf the land of Osten Ard as John the Presbyter-the Lord of Erkynland and High King of all Osten Ard and bane of the dragon Shurakai-is near his death. And I have no doubt I will reread The Dragonbone Chair, and I’m assuming the rest of the series as well, again and again in the future. Not including books I reread, I believe this is the fourth book to receive a 5-star rating from me this year. People have told me I would love The Dragonbone Chair, the first book in Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn trilogy, or The Osten Ard Saga, and they were right. I had a lot of high expectations going into The Dragonbone Chair, and all of it was met or exceeded. If there’s a tiny seed of regret, it would have to be why didn’t I read this sooner. I don’t regret reading The Dragonbone Chair. And now that The Navigator’s Children, the final book in The Osten Ard Saga, is slated to be released soon, this feels like it is the right time for me to start my journey into the world of Osten Ard. But I’ve been waiting for the completion of The Last King of Osten Ard, the second series in The Osten Ard Saga, to be completed before I start reading the series. It’s not like I didn’t want to read it sooner. The Dragonbone Chair and the entire Osten Ard Saga has been in my TBR pile for five years now. To say I was excited to read The Dragonbone Chair is an understatement. ![]() To want too much was worse than greed: it was stupidity-a waste of precious time and effort.” “When you stopped to think about it, he reflected, there weren’t many things in life one truly needed. The Dragonbone Chair is an absolutely brilliant transition from classic to modern epic fantasy. Published: 25th October 1988 by DAW Books Genre: Fantasy, High Fantasy, Epic Fantasy, Classic Fantasy Series: Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn (Book #1 of 3), The Osten Ard Saga (Book #1 of 7) This review is a copy of the transcript of my video review on The Dragonbone Chair. ![]() ![]() ![]()

![]() Installers use the dividing strips as guides when they work with different colored terrazzo. This invention made terrazzo a durable and reliable material in addition to allowing for further design work within the floor. in 1924 contained the cracking of terrazzo by allowing the material greater space to expand and shrink after installation. Two inventions resulted in its rise in popularity: divider strips and the electric grinding machine. Due to its likelihood of cracking, terrazzo was used at a small scale in comparison to the large expanses we see today. Until then it was hand polished with a long handled tool called a galera. ![]() Terrazzo was first introduced in the United States in the late 1890s, but did not achieve popularity until the 1920s. Together, these methods create the generic form of terrazzo that involves pieces of stone that are bonded to a cement bed. Terrazzo is also related to the technique seminato for which workers tossed larger marble chips into the cement that was then ground and polished. Pavimento alla Veneziana had workers place marble fragments next to each other in a mortar base. The form of terrazzo used today derives partly from the 18th century pavimento alla Veneziana ( Venetian pavement) and the cheaper seminato. History Terrazzo proper Īlthough the history of terrazzo can be traced back to the ancient mosaics of Egypt, its more recent predecessors come from Italy. "Terrazzo" is also often used to describe any pattern similar to the original terrazzo floors. After it is cured it is ground and polished smooth or otherwise finished to produce a uniformly textured surface. Additional chips may be sprinkled atop the mix before it sets. Metal strips often divide sections, or changes in color or material in a pattern. It consists of chips of marble, quartz, granite, glass, or other suitable material, poured with a cementitious binder (for chemical binding), polymeric (for physical binding), or a combination of both. Terrazzo is a composite material, poured in place or precast, which is used for floor and wall treatments. ![]() One of the most well known examples of terrazzo flooring is the Hollywood Walk of Fame. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Whether you operate in multiple countries or just one, we can provide local expertise to support your global workforce strategy.
