yes All leafy vegetables such as kale, lettuce, collard greens, turnip greens and cabbage all should have the larger outside leaves removed as the plant gets bigger. This promotes the inner leaves to grow. You see the whole plant cut off at the base in commercial farms. This yields less food, but its packages nicely. Keep cutting the plants till frost kills it or it goes to seed (blooms at the end of its life cycle). You can even save the seeds for next years crop.
