All of a sudden the outer edges of some of the redbor kale leaves seem to be drying. Anyone know why this could happen?

  • Have they had a sudden exposure to very hot sun, or has your weather done anything dramatic recently? – Bamboo May 25 '17 at 15:33
  • We were in the 90s for a few days. I do have a row cover on it so it may be getting warmer under the row cover possibly? – JStorage May 25 '17 at 18:41
  • it does look like heat damage to me - sunburn or excessive heat, maybe combined with too much moisture loss from the soil. – Bamboo May 25 '17 at 19:25

Turns out this is related to some excessive and abnormal heat wave we had for a few days. The plant seems to have recovered, except for the few leaves that got hit with the excessive heat. In hindsight I should have increased the water frequency or times during the heat wave.
