As cooler weather settles in, you may be looking at your kale and wondering if it’s time to harvest everything.



You might want to leave some of it right where it is. 🌱



Kale is one of those wonderful vegetables that can keep giving as the seasons change. In fact, colder temperatures can make the leaves sweeter and more tender.



But how you harvest matters, too.



Knowing which leaves to take and which ones to leave behind can help your plant continue producing. And for the kale you do bring inside, there are several simple ways to keep enjoying it later.



In this week’s blog, we’re looking at all three ...



  • How to harvest your kale
  • How to keep it growing into colder weather
  • How to store your harvest for later.




>> Read 📗 How to Harvest and Store Kale (And Keep It Growing)




Your garden may have a little more to give this season than you think.

P.S. Apparently, the kale has its own opinion about when gardening season ends. This week’s Sunday Garden Comic explains. 😉

Owls can barely move their eyes.
By Bennett Kleinman
When you see something utterly shocking, it may feel like you can’t look away. But for owls, the inability to avert one’s eyes is more of a biological restraint than morbid curiosity. Owls can only shift their peepers about 3 degrees in any direction (roughly 1/15th the degree of movement human eyes have), as an owl’s eyes are essentially locked in place.

This immobility is due to the owl’s lack of spherical eyeballs, which have a good range of motion and are present in many other animals. Instead, an owl’s eyes are shaped more like rod-shaped tubes, and they’re held firm by bony facial structures called sclerotic rings. Despite the limitation, owls still have a full 360-degree field of vision, as they can easily rotate their necks 270 degrees horizontally and 90 degrees vertically.
