Im in zone 6b/7a and I start my collards from seed in Sept and let them go all fall thru the winter and when spring comes they wake up and finish what they started in the fall! Best crop ever this way for me. Zero pests and harvest galore! I use my collards as my cover crop to keep my beds looking loved all winter. Snow doesnt faze them either!

I use Neem oil and dawn dish soap in a sprayer seems to keep bugs away and off my plants

You gave some nice tips, but you had a lot of holes in your greens. You can also use some netting over all your greens too. That, keeps out the cabbage moth.

You talk real. I appreciate that. Thank you. I'm in zone 10a Florida. I am still trying to work out getting stuff in the seed trays at the right time. I am noticing our aphids are a bit busier and one tiny moth worm wrapped up in a leaf the other day. Each season is a bit better because of teachers like you.

Cabbage collards and mustard greens are my favorite

I like the Georgia collards. They cook very quick and can tolerate Florida fall

Great videos!

2:50 If you want to direct sow, you can buy 32oz plastic soup food containers to cover the newly sown seeds. They act like mini individual greenhouses. Just cut a hole in the top of them for venting and watering. With the 32oz size, the plants can grow quite large before outgrowing the container. This also helps to prevent cutworms. Just twist the base down into the soil a a few inches after sowing the seeds.

❤ ❤ ❤I live in Miami Dade Florida and I hade a collard greens 🥬 tree because it stood 6 feet t tall and the leaves 🍃 was huge, the first tree got so heavy I had to chop it down, I also got babies from the stalk of the collard greens which never went to seed and then another tree just as tall and believe it or it grew into a fan shape and one day it split so I took some babies again from the stalk and planted them, and friends was shocked 😳 because I never had worms 🐛 to eat my greens 🥬 and I grew them in a five gallon bucket 🪣 and I had so many greens that my family and friends enjoyed, now my baby greens 🥬 are about knee high, when I fertilize it’s with my kitchen scraps, I’m enjoying your video keep it up 👍 ❤Amen God bless ALL gardeners 😊

I’m out in my garden every day. I have been a gardener since I was a little girl. Learned many things from my grandmother and neighbors.

Hi there, first time viewer here as I usually watch Greg and his son Travis at Hoss or Lazy Dog farm. I just wanted to share a new tip I just discovered on how to de-stem the mature leaves before cooking. I saw a sharp metal edge pizza cutter this morning at Dollar Tree. I thought that might be sharp enough to place on a piece of plywood as cutting board ( I had some 20" Squares already) and make fast work of cutting stems. I just tried it and it works great, so feel free to try it and share in a video.

You had me at the overalls. Trust the overalls. Those guys KNOW how to garden. My Dad wore them everyday except going to church.

Thanks great tips. We're in zone 10 southern CA so we planted our about 6 weeks ago and we had our first small picking. Yikes, where have these been all my life. Simply the best tasting veggie we ever grew. I'm growing mine in a 8 x 8 cage of wire mesh 1/2" x 1/2". Same below ground cage 24" down. Keeps out the raccoons, possums, gophers and crows. Seems many of these critters love southern CA. Thanks Mr Super Human Gardener.

Thanks! I’ve tried for three years to grow collards but pests always destroy everything. Since this is my favorite vegetable I’m not giving up! This means war!! Silly pests. Thanks again Sir.
