Vegetable Garden – Tips on Growing Southern Standard Vates Collard Greens From Seed

Days to Maturity: 80
If you don’t live in the South, you might not see Collards or greens very often; they are a leafy, cool-weather vegetable very popular for cooked greens. However, collards grow well throughout the country. A relative of Cabbage, Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Kohlrabi, and Kale, this upright, dark green, waxy plant is a little like a Cabbage that doesn’t make a head.
It is one of the most cold-hardy of all vegetables, able to withstand temperatures in the upper teens. In Zone 8 and southward, collards often provide a harvest through the entire winter. You can plant them in spring and fall, although fall-planted collards are favored because the leaves are sweeter when kissed by frost.

Sow seeds 1" apart, cover lightly and thin seedlings 4-6" apart.
Germination period is 10-14 days.
Set out spring transplants 3 to 4 weeks before the last frost; in late summer.
Plant 6 to 8 weeks before the first frost for fall and winter harvests.
