Kale is a cool weather crop so it is best grown in early spring and in the fall when the temperatures are cooler in those zones. It can certainly be grown in your area, and while it prefers full sun, if it will be growing during the warmer times of the year, it is best to plant in an area that receives shade and make sure to give it plenty of water.
You can plant kale seeds indoors in late winter, then transplant the seedlings into the garden in early spring to then enjoy the harvest before the temperatures really begin to rise. You can also plant in very late summer or early fall so it will be growing during cooler times.
