Excellent tips thanks so much since I moved to Oklahoma I’ve had a hard time doing collards we live in a very wooded area so we get about six hours of sun a day, so I’ll try some of your tips see what happens
Beautiful garden and important tips. I am in Central Florida 9b. I don’t try to grow anything during the summer. New friend here. Thank you for sharing. Blessings.
Thank you so much for your growing tips for my favorite greens! I love that you suggest planting Aug-Dec. I too, am in a zone 10b (San Francisco east bay) and am excited to plant them now. Appreciate you sharing these helpful tips with us! ❤
May is the absolute worst time to start Collards here in S Florida. It's just way too hot! 🥵 I start mine in the cooler months. Fish emulsion is the best. I also use bonemeal and bloodmeal.
I like winter sewing my collards ( plant them in a milk jug and put it outside in winter) by spring the jug act like a green house, all I have to do is replant them , works great
@@vmitchell1158 I cut the milk jug in half , at the bottom part of The jug I put holes , then I filled the bottom part of the jug with planting soil , planted the seeds , the duct tape the jug back together , left the lid off The jug , label the jug and set it outside in dead winter 🥶 buy spring everything sprouted and I just replanted it in the garden , works perfect , the easiest way to sprout seeds
@@DrPayneNestor Awesome. Nice to meet You're so close to me. I'm in Miramar. Near University. Now is the worst time for collards, as the weather warms up. I have a few left and they're holding on for dear life, even under shade cloth.
Hi Cortney! Your video is really helpful! I came across some seedlings at my local nursery (zone 9b) when is the best time to transplant them for the spring? I’m a beginner and want to make sure I plant them during the right time! I’ll also plan on growing them in September/October to experiment based off your tips 🥰
Thank you. I'm so glad I could help. September is a great time to transplant seedlings in your zone. Your next chance to sow your collard seeds in 9b would be in February. Good luck and come back and let me know how it goes. 🥰
That was awesome. I got more info in this one video than I have gotten watching about 4. I appreciate you! P.S. All you people watching and not subscribing...well you know what I'm thinking.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you! Yes if all the people who viewed this subscribed I'd have way more followers. It's okay though. They'll be back for more info. FYI....... I'll be posting many more great videos soon. Thank you for subscribing! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
That was a great video. Straight to the point and perfect for me trying them the first time here in Englewood, FL (10A). I will wait till the end of July and direct sow in my raised bed. Got lots of cow peas growing and they love this heat. Thanks!
Thank you so much Paul. Good luck with your collards. August - September may be a better time to start. Right before the weather starts to cool down. It may still be too hot in July in zone 10A. Collards don't enjoy the heat.
@@CortneysLittleGarden I will take that advice. I will go with the Georgia first. Also, can you share a simple recipe for them that you use at home? I have never made them but get them every chance I can when out. Leroy's Southern Kitchen in Punta Gorda makes the best I ever had.
@@paulinswfl8218 Absolutely! Next time I make a batch I'll do a quick video JUST FOR YOU! Stay tuned! FYI I've had great success with the Georgia Southern. It's beautiful and delicious!
I’m in 8B and haven’t planted them yet…the agricultural extension says I still have time. It’s just gotten too hot here in Central Texas to plant anything for spring/ summer, so I’m definitely going for fall and winter. I’ve never planted collards, spinach or even lettuce, but I’m hoping! This is an excellent video. I’m covered everything I needed to hear.
@@freewaybaby Awe. Thank you so much. I'm so happy to help. Remember that we are learning as we grow. Get that garden started and don't be discouraged when things don't go as planned. Try try again. Follow me on TikTok at CortneysLittleGarden. Let's communicate there as well. You'll see that the struggle is real. Even for me. I've had some epic failures over the years myself. Don't let the failures keep you down. Practice is the best teacher.
@@CortneysLittleGarden I have some collards, but don't seem like they are growing that much, I also have cucumbers the veins are growing long, but no product, not sure of the time line it takes to produce them, they are also still in pots, I am considering a raised bed
@@MsShane1977 Collards don't respond well in this heat. I plan on starting my collards next month. The cucumbers definitely need more space. Their roots spread out. The growth may be stunted in a pot.
Nice! They both grow well in cooler temps but I wouldn't say they are similar in growth patterns. Collards grow super tall and the leaves can be HUGE, depending on the variety. Swiss Chard is a cut and come again crop but won't grow that long stalk that collards do.
Absolutely. I use mushroom compost, it's a little pricey and not that easy to find in my area. I mix it with my homemade compost and fertilize every 2 weeks or so. Thank you for watching!
@@MeltingHeartsWaxMelts You're so welcome. You definitely can. That's the best nutrients for plants. Watch my video about how I compost. Nothing goes to waste.
Yea. Unfortunately I had these in the sunniest part of my garden so I was watering twice a day. They don't do well in extreme heat. You will have to water often. Especially if they get full sun.
I've tried seeds from almost everywhere. Home Depot, Lowe's, even my local nurseries. It all depends on what works for you. MIGardener.com also has seeds that are reasonably priced with almost 100% germination rate.
I also have seeds, harvested from my garden, that I give away to my TikTok followers. The gardening community there is serious. I've met some really cool, like minded people.
@@CortneysLittleGarden ok thanks my mom grew them but I couldn't remember when she planted I always plant turnip and mustard mid September and they are perfect size before a freeze
@@davidbass7593 Nice! We don't get a frost here in S Florida but collards love a good frost and survive it pretty well. Hmmm, 🤔 I probably should have said that in this video. Start them in February and keep me posted on progress. I'd love to know how they do.
Very useful
I live zone 6 and have been amazed that they have come back from roots these last 2 winters...
Wow. Amazing.

Can you explain how you put them in the jug? Luke whole plant or seeds??
Nice. I love hearing about different methods people use. As long as it works, I'm all for it. Good luck with those collards.

@@vmitchell1158 and don't forget to water the seeds before duct tape in the jug back together, very important
Thank you I'll try again.
Never give up!

@@CortneysLittleGarden yes indeed I can't till my collards get big enough to harvest I got a couple of recipes
@@urbanharvestdfw Yes! So many great recipes for collards. I'm still trying new ones. I made some gumbo greens the other day. It was DELISH!
Why, Thank you. I will be planting collards soon. Hopefully, before the end of July. I have never grown any, so I am eagerly listening to your tips.😁😅
Good luck! Thank for watching!

About to sow some seeds. It will be my first time growing collards. Love them! Zone 9B, Eastern Pasco County.
September/October are good months for starting collards in 9B. Good Luck! 🥰

I replant my peppers in December and this year I got a huge crop. I had to give some many away. lol
@@YB-PC-BYourself Nice! Love it when that happens. What a great feeling being able to share the abundance.
Thanks for sharing beautiful queen j goin to use all those tips I just planted about 30 collars plants in containers how long before I harvest thanks
You're welcome. It'll be a while before harvest. Let them grow around 2 to 3 months so that they are a good size. Good luck with everything.
Awesome video Ma'am!!! New subber here!!! Thanks for sharing the informative info!!! Beautiful Collards!!!
And I'm your 100th sub!!!!😂😂😂😂😂 Congrats!!!!

I was wondering if "collards" are similar to growing swiss chard?
I'm growing aquaponic and my swiss chard is growing like wildfire.
Nice! They both grow well in cooler temps but I wouldn't say they are similar in growth patterns. Collards grow super tall and the leaves can be HUGE, depending on the variety. Swiss Chard is a cut and come again crop but won't grow that long stalk that collards do.
Do you recommend blended compost for collard fertilizer? Thanks for sharing 💜🌱
Absolutely. I use mushroom compost, it's a little pricey and not that easy to find in my area. I mix it with my homemade compost and fertilize every 2 weeks or so. Thank you for watching!
@@CortneysLittleGarden thank you! I blend veggie scraps and use that on my tomatoes, wasn’t sure if I could for collards too💜
@@MeltingHeartsWaxMelts You're so welcome. You definitely can. That's the best nutrients for plants. Watch my video about how I compost. Nothing goes to waste.
How often do you water? I tried growing Georgia collards and I'? In zone 9a and they just kept turning brown
Yea. Unfortunately I had these in the sunniest part of my garden so I was watering twice a day. They don't do well in extreme heat. You will have to water often. Especially if they get full sun.
very nice
Thank you!
@@CortneysLittleGarden yes I’m support your cannel for you 😘

How do you prevent aphids on collard greens?
That was tip #7.
Are those greys things in the bed with them rocks?
Yes. It gets really windy in my backyard. I put them there to keep the collards from snapping.
Hi luv where can I order my seeds from I seen some on Amazon I'm trying to learn how to grow
I've tried seeds from almost everywhere. Home Depot, Lowe's, even my local nurseries. It all depends on what works for you. MIGardener.com also has seeds that are reasonably priced with almost 100% germination rate.
I also have seeds, harvested from my garden, that I give away to my TikTok followers. The gardening community there is serious. I've met some really cool, like minded people.
How to you keep those moths of them.

I live in zone 8 so when would I plant collards? North Louisiana
According to the Old Farmers Almanac, you should have started them since September. Your next chance will be in February.
