Southern Collard Green" is a Ferry Morse seed. Being a
Cabbage relative it tolerates cool weather well. The plants
produce large open heads of thick blue-green flavorful leaves.
It's rich in vitamins and excellent for cooking or freezing.
The Bed: Add a fresh layer
of rich compost to the top soil, then till or spade the bed to
loosen the soil and work in the compost. Rake level.
How to Grow: Collard Greens
can be planted 3 to 4 weeks before last frost. Plant seed 1"
deep, spaced 3" apart. Rows should be 20" to 24"
apart. Thin or transplant seedlings 12" - 14" apart
after the fourth set of true leaves appear. Keep the soil moist
but not soggy until the seeds germinate. After germination, water
as needed. Collard Greens plants can be lightly mulched to conserve moisture and
to cool the soil.
Harvesting: Harvest leaves
starting at the bottom of the plant any time they are large
enough.
