It is nominally a biennial whether it goes for the full two years will
depend on your conditions. As Billy says it is very hardy.

Our experience has been that kale that germinates in the late fall and
overwinters will bolt the following growing season.

In our climate it seems that winter sets the biological clock to year 2.

Thanks. If it grows, I'll put a new crop in next year. I think I
should have had it in weeks ago...

Oh... and we're zone 5 London Ontario... Our climate may be
significantly different from yours.

....and you can still harvest for awhile from the overwintered plants.
