Planting & Care

Sow collard green seeds outdoors about 2-4 weeks before the last frost date in spring, or in late summer for a fall harvest. Plant seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep and keep the soil evenly moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to allow for healthy growth.

Collard greens benefit from regular watering and a layer of mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly if needed, and harvest outer leaves when they are young and tender, or wait for mature leaves. Monitor for common pests like aphids and cabbage worms, and use organic controls as necessary.
