Hi I live in Belize which isn't given as a country option. Anyone had experience growing kale in the Caribbean? When is the best time to plant?

Sue, Kale will germinate and grow in the cooler months in Sydney. You might only have a short window of opportunity where you are. It is in the Brassica family so if you can grow cabbage and cauliflower give it a go. There are different varieties to choose from.
