Kale Seedlings

. Leaves:
Shape:
In the very early stages, they will have smooth, round, or oval seed leaves called cotyledons. As they grow, true leaves emerge, which are typically more lobed, crinkled, or ruffled, depending on the specific kale variety.
Color:
Kale seedlings show a variety of colors. They can be a vibrant blue-green, a deep purple, or even have a variegated or mottled appearance.
Texture:
The leaves often have a rough, sometimes leathery texture, especially as they mature.

1. Stems:
   Appearance: The stems are usually sturdy and often have a purplish hue, which adds to their visual appeal.
2. Overall Plant Structure:
   Growth Habit:
   Kale is a non-heading type of cabbage, meaning the leaves grow outwards from a central stalk rather than forming a tight head. Seedlings will start compact and upright, eventually expanding into a looser, more spreading form.
   Height:
   While seedlings are small, they are often described as a compact cluster of leaves. You might note how quickly they grow, or how they are starting to send up their central stalk, which will eventually support more leaves
