We grow Vates kale (a dwarf blue Scotch curled kind), because it's the hardiest I've found, and it does well outdoors. Using rowcover on it was a bad mistake, so we don't do that anymore. Bits of rowcover fibers got caught up in the leaves! We do pick Vates frozen, just snapping off the leaves, if we need too. It has never turned to mush on us when we've done that. I can't speak for other kinds of kale. In the hoophouse we grow the Russian kales. We wait till they thaw before harvsting, but then we're zone & and they have the hoophouse, so they thaw before mid-day.
