When to Sow Based on Hardiness ZoneYour USDA Plant Hardiness Zone is an important factor to consider when you are deciding what month to sow kale. You can read more about these hardiness zones here.
Those who live in a hardiness zone with a high number can start growing earlier in the spring and later in the fall than those who live in a hardiness zone with a low number. As the hardiness zone number increases, the growing season gets longer.
Other useful information for determining the planting date is your predicted last frost date in the spring, and first frost date in the fall.
When to Sow in the Spring and FallKale is a cool weather crop, so it grows best in the spring and fall and in locations where it can receive plenty of sunlight.
In the spring, you can plant seeds outside immediately after the last frost. At this point, the soil will have warmed enough for germination to occur. You can continue to sow seeds until the end of May.
If you are starting seedlings indoors, sow four to six weeks before the predicted last frost date.

There’s nothing like opening up a fresh package of sheets. Most of the time, they’re perfectly ironed—almost crisp—and they never feel more soft or luxurious than before that first use. While you're probably looking forward to putting them on your bed and getting ready for a good night's sleep, you may be wondering if you should wash your new sheets first.

Should you organize each utensil so like is grouped with like? Should you use the silverware basket or the rack, if your dishwasher is a newer model? Some people are adamant that silverware should be placed handle-up, while others insist on handle-down—but those aren’t actually the only options.
