Re: kale conclusions

Okay, I'm new to gardening and will find my zone, but for now, I can
tell you that I live in Southern California.  Does this mean, since we
never get freezes that I shouldn't grow kale, because it needs the
freeze to taste good?

If I post this wrong again, could someone please tell me the proper way
or direct me to where I can find out how to post messages?

Take care, Arah
