Description: 250 CHAMPION COLLARDSEEDS Collard Greens Growing and Harvesting Guide Collard greens (Brassica oleracea var. viridis) are a nutrient-rich leafy green vegetable belonging to the Brassica family. They are known for their robust flavor and are commonly used in Southern cuisine. Here's a comprehensive guide to growing and harvesting collard greens. Growing Collard Greens 1. Choosing the Right Variety: Varieties: Popular varities include Georgia Southern, Vates, Blue Max, and Champion. Choose a variety that is best suited for your climate. 2. When to Plant: Spring Planting: Plant seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Transplant outdoors 2-3 weeks before the last frost.Fall Planting: Sow seeds directly into the ground from late summer to early fall, about 10-12 weeks before the first frost date. 3. Soil Preparation: Soil Type: Collard greens prefer well-draining, loamy soil rich in organic matter.pH Level: Aim for a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0 to 7.0).Soil Enrichment: Incorporate compost or well-rotted manure into the soil prior to planting. 4. Planting: Spacing: Space seeds 1 inch apart, thinning to 12-18 inches between plants once they emerge.Depth: Plant seeds about 0.5 inches deep.Watering: Water in well after planting. Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid waterlogging. 5. Sunlight Requirements: Collard greens thrive in full sun (6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily), but they can tolerate partial shade, especially in hotter regions. 6. Maintenance: Watering: Keep the soil slightly damp. Water deeply during dry spells.Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and maintain soil temperature.Fertilizing: Use a balanced fertilizer (like a 10-10-10) every 4-6 weeks during the growing season, especially if your soil is low in nutrients. 7. Pest Control: Common pests include aphids, cabbage worms, and flea beetles. Use row covers to protect young plants and apply organic insecticidal soap if needed.Encourage beneficial insects such as ladybugs and lacewings. 8. Disease Prevention: Ensure good air circulation around plants to prevent fungal diseases. Rotate crops yearly to avoid soil-borne diseases. Harvesting Collard Greens 1. When to Harvest: Collard greens can be harvested as soon as the leaves are large enough to eat, typically around 60-85 days after sowing.The best time to harvest is in the cooler months or after a frost, which can enhance their flavor and sweetness. 2. How to Harvest: Use a sharp knife or garden shears to cut the outer leaves. Always leave at least 4-6 inner leaves or the growing point intact to allow the plant to continue growing.For continuous harvesting, pluck leaves from the bottom up, allowing lower leaves to mature. 3. Post-Harvest Handling: Rinse leaves in cool water to remove dirt and insects.Store unwashed collard greens in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. They are best used fresh, but can also be blanched and frozen for longer storage. 4. Tips for Seasoning and Cooking: Collard greens can be sautéed, steamed, boiled, or added to soups. They are often seasoned with smoked meats, garlic, and onion to enhance their flavors. As a seller, I understand that there may be some confusion when it comes to the terms and conditions of shipping and delivery. In order to provide clarity, I would like to address a few important points: 1. 3 business day shipping: We strive to ship out your order within three business days from the date of purchase. This means that weekends (Saturday and Sunday) are not considered business days, so please keep this in mind when estimating your delivery time. 2. No tracking on orders under $16: Due to the rising costs of delivery, we regretfully cannot provide tracking information for orders under $16. This allows us to keep our prices competitive while still offering reliable shipping services. 3. Estimated delivery dates: While we make every effort to provide accurate estimated delivery dates, they should be viewed as approximations. Various factors, such as unforeseen delays in transit, may impact the actual delivery date. We kindly ask for your understanding should any discrepancies arise. 4. Seller's lack of control over third-party delivery: Once the order is placed with USPS or any third-party delivery service, we, as the seller, have no control over the speed of delivery. We rely on their efficiency and processes to ensure your package arrives in a timely manner. 5. Longer delivery times: In some cases, orders may take up to 15 business days to be delivered. While this is not typical, it is important to note that different factors, such as customs processes, distance, or volume of orders, can contribute to longer delivery times. 6. Contact seller before opening a case or leaving negative feedback: We kindly request that if you encounter any issues with your order, please reach out to us directly before opening a case or leaving negative feedback. We are here to help and will do everything we can to resolve any problems you may have. 7.
