    can I plant it now in central Florida or in mid August?
    Forage Kale is best sown in cool-season conditions, such as your fall and winter (~September through March). Members of the brassica family usually bolt, or start producing seed, when the temperature gets too hot. For best quality and wildlife attraction, it is best planted in cooler seasons with adequate moisture.
