To plant Vates Blue Curled Scotch kale seeds, select a sunny to partially shaded location with well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of about 6 inches, removing any weeds or debris. Sow the seeds directly into the soil, planting them 1/4 inch deep and spacing them 8 to 12 inches apart in rows or a grid pattern. Ensure the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged during the 7 to 14 day germination period. Once the seedlings emerge, thin them to maintain a final spacing of about 12 to 18 inches apart to allow for optimal growth.
