How to Harvest Collard Greens to promote Growth?

In this video I show how to harvest collard greens to promote growth. Cutting your greens will promote more growth if the leaves are cut. I encourage everyone not to pull the entire plant out the ground. This will give you an endless supply of collard greens for a long time. I will have Thanksgiving collard greens, Christmas collards, and New Years Collards. Once the leaves are harvested pull the weeds away from the plants. The weeds steal nutrients away from your collard greens. When this happens the leaves will not get as big and we do not want that. Growing your own feels amazing and it saves Money. I have backyard Collards so I don't have to go to the store. Backyard collard greens will taste better that the store Collards. I have very fresh collard greens that you can't get out the store. Once the leaves are cut I used fish fertilizer to help increase growth stimulation. I also encourage everyone to grow there own Collard green starts.

Young man, it was a pleasure to watch this video. Both my folks were raised in the country and we always had a pot of greens to eat. My mom used to mix collard, mustard and turnip greens in her pot. I can remember back when I was a little boy and my great granddaddy would give me a small cup of the "pot liquor" after all the greens were gone. He said the juice would cure anything that ailed you. To this day, I still drink that warm juice with a piece of corn bread.

Those are beautiful and tasty looking.😍💚 Collards are one of my favorites to grow. I grow them year round until it gets too cold. We eat them A LOT! I think I got lucky in a way by starting my gardening journey in South Korea. I had no choice but to grow from seed. I didn’t know where to go to buy starts and the ones I found looked horrible. Now, I couldn’t see myself doing it any other way. I love dropping seeds!😊 Happy growing!

Hi Mr. Brown, I just purchased some collar greens from the store yesterday. Hopefully mine will be ready for New Year’s. Thanks for teaching us how to crop collards greens . This will be my first time growing greens so that helps me a lot.

Do you know what variety of greens those are? Some collard can get to be as tall as 2-3 feet. But, yours are giving great yield, yet about a foot tall at most.

Love the fish emulsion fertilizer. They make a potassium and phosphorus fertilizer called more bloom also. It works great for all the blooming veggies

Your greens look so yummy. I have two collard green trees. They’re about six feet tall and produce lots of greens. Can you recommend what I can do about the white mofts. Those creatures eat my greens up, putting holes in every leaf. Blessings to you and your family ❤

I'm growing collards in the UK for the first time this year. They are so prolific! I notice you have no pest damage - how do you manage that? Mine have to be permanent netted against cabbage white butterflies here.
