When the collards come up do you have to thin them???

[@PlantSmartLivingNOW]

That’s up to you, you could thin them every 6 to 12 inches or just let them grow together, if you grew a couple rows of collard greens you could let one row grow together and then thin the other row….and do an experiment and see which one you like better.

Farmer Fred, what kind of wood are you using for your raised beds?

[@PlantSmartLivingNOW]

I used 2“ x 8” treated framing lumber for my raise beds!

[@PlantSmartLivingNOW]

thank you… The benefits have been amazing for my health!

[@prettybrowneyes1518]

I planted collard greens in my raised garden bed however, I'm not sure if I planted correctly. They're growing but they don't look collard greens.

[@PlantSmartLivingNOW]

Perhaps the plants or seeds were labeled incorrectly!

[@freewaybaby]

I’m just now watching this video, so I’m really late to this conversation, but what grew instead of collard greens? Just curious.😮😊

[@Mea-s4f]

Ty tell that truth

[@arlenearmy]

“When” exactly do we plant the collard green seeds?

[@PlantSmartLivingNOW]

You can plant the seeds in the early spring for a summer harvest or plant them in the late summer for a fall harvest!
