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

[@CortneysLittleGarden]

Thank you and good luck. They like shade but do need sun. Happy growing.

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 🥰

[@CortneysLittleGarden]

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. 🥰

I live in Miami, Florida, and I would like to see how to fertilize my Collard Greens and what brand I should use.

[@CortneysLittleGarden]

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.

[@freewaybaby]

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.

[@CortneysLittleGarden]

@@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 yes indeed I can't till my collards get big enough to harvest I got a couple of recipes

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!

[@CortneysLittleGarden]

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.

[@paulinswfl8218]

@@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.

[@CortneysLittleGarden]

@@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 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]

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.

@@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.

I was wondering if "collards" are similar to growing swiss chard? I'm growing aquaponic and my swiss chard is growing like wildfire.

[@CortneysLittleGarden]

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 💜🌱

[@CortneysLittleGarden]

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💜
