[Plant-biology] kale

[willis]

   I planted some kale outdoors last year later than it should be planted. 
Only one came up and also survived. It has gone through at least 3 winter 
freezes, down to 13 degrees F, with no protection from the cold. It is doing 
fine now, and it perked up when I watered it. Is it unusal for kale to 
survive freezes? Of course, my wild garlic survives everything, except for 
being suffocated by groundcover.
