Brassica, Cole, Collard, Kale 'Georgia'

This is a very hardy plant and produces well. A short row of them will supply myself and my chickens with greens for the fall, winter (...Read Moreunless the weather stays below freezing a long time) and spring. Keeping the aphids off of them can be a challenge because they (aphids) get on the small/new leaves in the center of the plant where it is hard to kill them.

This is a very popular collard in the southeast. It has large leaves which are spaced further apart than most cultivars. Traditionalists ...Read Morepick the lower leaves from the plant allowing the top bud to grow. At the end of winter they have a three foot stem with a little bunch of leaves on top, hence the term Walking Collard. I prefer to cut the whole plant as a bunch so I am not particularly fond of this cultivar.
