Growing tall Collard Greens and other leafy veggies.
Tips, Tricks
You don't need a farm or a big size lot to grow veggies. Here are some collard greens that I grew in a small container bed and eventually transplanted in containers. Planning to do more growing veggies in containers to share with you that you don't need "land" to grow them. :) Continue to follow me for Updates and other Info: http://www.facebook.com/MyInspiredCreation

I'm growing Georgia Collards for the first time this year. I'm using containers and growing on my balcony. I'm in NYC and it's getting hot and humid but they keep on growing, long after my spinach bolted! Great video!
-
instead of transplanting them, couldn't u just grow them in a large container
-
they need some water.
-
zzzzzz
-
What size container did you use please?
-
I planted a couple as an ornamental plant last year, and a year later they grew taller and bigger! Now I noticed it sprouted another smaller plant, now i learned how eat it and I choose the younger leaves, boy it was yummy actually!
-
What are you using for fertilizer, soil, compost, etc? Or is that a farmer secret :)
-
grow the tall collards in a trench, with the head touching the soil. You will have multiple heads and more leaves
-
How do you keep bugs from eating your collar greens?
-
Don't transplant, just stake it with a bamboo stake and some ties.
-
I was wondering how many gallons are your Containers/Planters for the Collards?
-
Hey, what type of collards are these? Southern Giorgia?!
-
Did you mention which seeds you used when you first planted your collard greens? They look so super yummy!
-
Wow, great...am going to try collards here in Zone 9 (Southwest Florida)...I want my green leafies during the hot summer and I understand that Georgia collards in particular will do alright in the heat here...thank you for the video!

Please know that you can cut the stalk off and start a new plant. You now have a stalk long enough to make three collard plants. Try it. I started my collards from a bunch of greens I bought and planted the stalk after cropping the leaves from the stalk. A friend shared the idea and I could not wait to try it. It really works

I remembered seeing the picture of your collards. Good grief they are huge! Thats amazing! Maybe the plants I think were collards was actually a non heading broccoli! But good job on your greens!
-
In addition: Have you seen the latest picture I uploaded on my FB page of my Collards? They have gotten much bigger since this video. :D

I really don't know what the reason for them not bolting. Same goes to my Red Russian Kale, they are continuing to just grow big and haven't bolted as well. I try not to remove too much of the leaves as to not stress it. From what I've heard, fertilizing it too much and stressing the plant causes the plant to bolt. I don't use any fertilizers on my plants, just organic worm compost. :)

Just wondering... how did your collards not bolt? I have some (well I think they are collards) that seems like they bolting.
