Thank you so much for watching! Comment below and let us know if you are able to grow collard greens in the fall, spring, or both

[@rosalindblocker9340]

Welcome. In the fall, I saved two 🌱 plants for pods so I can my own collard seeds. 😊

[@mommacrow3170]

Both in Arkansas...zone 7b... Very helpful video. Thank you. I did subscribe... What zone are you in, please?

[@OffGridInvestor]

Here in my area of Australia we grow canola. Like you can drive past MILES solid of it. Thousands of acres in the area. The method they use it to cut it with a windrowing mower , let it dry for 2 or 3 days on the ground, then come along with a harvester attachment to pick it up and the harvester threshes it. This all gets sold to go thru an oil press and filtered then heated to evaporate any water from the oil and bottled up. Completely cholesterol free and taste free, very light oil. I generally only use it for the frying pan unless someone gives me other oil for free.

[@GardeningWithDoug]

Now I know what collard green seed pods look like. Thank you.

[@auyannaplants]

I am glad this was helpful and thank you for watching!

[@d.l.whitfield8290]

This is the first time I let a collard go until it bloomed, and it is covered with small green seed pods that look like miniature green bean pods. I can't wait to see if I can harvest and start some pla ts from seeds to start in the group d in late June or July for a fall collard harvest. Thanks for the video. Happy green eating to you. My Mom is 96, and loves collards, as do I. I hope it works out well. Blessings from North Carolina.

[@auyannaplants]

Yes that is so amazing. That is exactly what I do. Harvest them and use them for fall. 96 is a BLESSING. Good luck to you and thank you so much for watching!

[@Sennatra]

I’ve been trying to figure out how to get collard green seeds without purchasing them online for about a week. You’re the first video I came across that gave me the answer. Going to buy some right now, thank you!

[@auyannaplants]

Yay!!! So happy to see this. You will love saving your own seeds. The seeds are acclimated to your climate and it saves money over the long run. Thank you so much for watching!

[@karendickens8970]

Hello what if I cut the flowers off before the pods got big. Will it still have seeds in the flowers

[@Artofabeautifullife]

I searched videos on saving tree collard seeds, and you popped up. I immediately recognized your voice from tiktok! So glad to find you on KZbin! 🥰

[@auyannaplants]

Nice!!! So glad you found us on KZbin and I hope the video was helpful for you. Thank you so much for watching!

[@ssoat1136]

Hi Anna, thanks very much for this! I grew up in NC but moved to New Zealand and it is really hard to get collard seeds here. I managed to get a few seeds this year and had an amazing collard harvest. Now I have a few collard plants in flower and will definitely be trying to save seeds otherwise may have no collard greens next year!

[@auyannaplants]

I am so glad this video was helpful. We have begun to harvest more seeds from the garden. It is amazing how many seeds one plant will produce. Hopefully over the years we can save and use our own seeds. Thank you so much for watching!

[@gregboshell977]

I live in Alabama and I love to grow collards and turnip greens and mustard love it

[@auyannaplants]

Yes, leafy greens are my favorite. We have started our leafy green seeds inside for the fall season. Thank you so much for watching.

[@leslieradcliffe1173]

Thank you for this tutorial. I put mu dried branches with pods in a pillow case and WHACK them. The seeds fall to the bottom of the case and I scoop them up. As I pour the seeds from scoop into a bowl I gently blow on them to release any chaf that is collected in the scoop!

[@auyannaplants]

Such a great tip!!! Thank you so much for sharing. Nothing like saving your own seeds from the garden. Thank you so much for watching!

[@stephaniealexander3386]

i have been growing collards in 24 inch plastic pots on my balcony for about 2 years. I mist / water the leaves in the summer (I'm in San Diego, CA) and they are beautigul and huge when I harvest. I recently dug up 6 collard greens plants from my grandmother's house and brought them home and potted them and placed them next to my other collards. For the first time I have been seeing these flowers begin to grow on all my collard plants and I came to KZbin to learn and understand what is happening to the plant. Your video has been a perfect short class, and I thank you! I decided to save the flowering of one plant to begin the seeding and new generation. I am very excited, as I bought this plant from my favorite, old family-owned nursery. I look forward to viewing your videos! Sending blessings, love and light to you and your family.

[@auyannaplants]

So glad that this video has helped. I have also used the flowers in my salad as well, I am so excited that you can continue to save your seeds and replant. Thank you so much for watching!

[@bernadettejohnson2390]

Thank you for making this video! I plan to plant some collards for the first time this fall. After growing mustard greens, I let some of them go to seed and harvested them the same way you harvested your collard seeds. There were so many; I even gave some of the seeds away. What really thrilled me was when one of the people I'd given seeds to, posted on Facebook a picture of the mustard greens she'd grown from those seeds!

[@auyannaplants]

YES! They give you so much seeds and I love that they are now acclimated to your climate. That is the best feeling to share and now they are able to grow from your seeds. Thanks so much for watching!

[@PeekaBoo50]

Thank you for such an informative video!! This is my first time growing collard greens for the seeds. I wasn't sure how it was gonna happen but oh boy do I feel ready now 😀👋!

[@auyannaplants]

Yes we are getting seeds now. Can't wait to harvest them. Good luck to you and thank you so much for watching!

[@monit4976]

Very informative for a newbie collard grower. I agree, it's very therapeutic.

[@auyannaplants]

Thank you so much and thank you for watching!

[@NinaRoseTreasures]

Thank you! My plant seeded, waiting on it to dry. It survived the winter! ✨

[@auyannaplants]

Nice!! I love it and produces so many seeds. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@Jonyam]

I am so glad that I found your channel. I bought 2 big bunches of collards from our local Foodland for Thanksgiving. They were super hardy, and I think they were Georgia collards as I am right across the border in SC. I just chunked the bottoms out in the backyard for the deer/rabbits to eat. Well nothing ever ate them, and now I have four huge colards covered in flowers and seed pods. 😂 Now I know how to harvest the seeds.

[@auyannaplants]

Nice. Plants are so amazing! Good luck and thank you for watching!

[@grandmaemilyscatsandmore2255]

Thank you so much for the video I grew collard greens this year and would like to grow some next year

[@auyannaplants]

You are so welcome. I love growing greens. Hopefully I will be able to to can the rest in the garden this week because it is time to put our summer vegetables in the ground. Thank you so much for watching!

[@tiffany333.]

I plan on growing collard greens for the first time this year. Thank you so much for this tip! 🌱

[@auyannaplants]

Yay!!! Congratulations. They are so good and can be used in so many ways. Thank you so much for watching!

[@sayvilletech9135]

Thanks, great video. I planted some collards a couple of years ago. Bugs got most of the leaves but one plant just wouldn't give up and I left it. Today I noticed the green pods are getting full. I can't wait for them to dry. It's June 13, I'm in NY. Again thanks.

[@auyannaplants]

Those pests can be something else but I am so glad that some survived for you so that you will be able to harvest seeds soon. Thank you so much for watching!

[@rainwaterrefugehomestead2267]

I need need need to get some collards on the shelf this fall! I want to can some so bad. Got a TON of pods on my plant. I can't wait to save the seeds 🌱

[@auyannaplants]

Nice and there are lots of seed pods that develop. Canning them would be awesome. Thank you so much for watching!

[@kimhunter2532]

I got so excited that I picked the flower with baby pods too soon. I'll be looking for more. My collards grow tall and we had a cool winter but not much frost so I hope I do get more flowers

[@auyannaplants]

Yes! They definitely should produce lots of pods.

[@sandrarice5575]

You answered my question so well. Thank you for sharing your experience. Things have shifted and it's a different world now. We just went to our feed store and bought what we needed in the past. I save seeds but so much more then before. Coming out of retirement to show how to do it to younger generations of the family raised in the "disposable generation." I might only be able to do a few hours a day but we do what we can. Thank goodness my daughter in law said she will pick for me. I will teach her how to put it up in jars, freezer and dehydrated.

[@auyannaplants]

Yes this is what it's all about sharing our knowledge so our families and friends will know what to do. I am still teaching my kids taking them to the garden giving out knowledge so they will know. Please keep this up and thank you for sharing

[@karenthornton5477]

Okay thank you my first time on your Channel and is my first time growing collard green

[@auyannaplants]

Welcome and thank you so much for stopping by. Much success to your garden and your greens! Nothing like homegrown collards

[@aprilsmith8447]

Currently waiting on some collard seeds to dry, but something was eating the seed pods on my Brussels. Very glad to hear you say we could take them off early but it's best to wait. I'll try unless I see pests

[@auyannaplants]

Oh no I hope the pests will leave them alone so you can harvest lots of seeds. Thanks so much for watching!

[@Freedom2025-x2b]

First time watching your videos. I wanted to learn how collards produce seeds. I’m in Central Florida 9b and today is 7/10/23. I also subscribed and will be reviewing your videos

[@auyannaplants]

Welcome and thank you so much for watching!

[@shemikabrown7759]

Great video. My first greens are flowing now. I saw bees out in my garden earlier. I'm so excited

[@auyannaplants]

Yes it is absolutely the best! So glad to hear your greens are growing nicely. Thank you so much for watching!

[@lorenzojohnson4683]

Thx this is my first time growing I planted mine September they started to grow but it’s get cold northern VA and hot and we had a few warmer days and they started growing again but I didn’t know they grow so tall like that can’t wait until they grow my family loves as well Thanks again

[@auyannaplants]

That is amazing. Yes they will slow down with growth but they definitely pick back up. Greens are a staple for us. Depending on the variety they can definitely get big. They even have a tree collard. Thank you so much for watching!

[@johnday8451]

Thanks for this. I have a 3 year old collard plant here in central Texas, which has survived all the bugs and summers that have taken out other collards and kale, so I want to save the seeds from this special plant and grow them next fall/winter. It tastes good, too. 🙂

[@auyannaplants]

Nice! I am so glad that this was helpful and thank you so much for watching!

[@fbrooks1476]

Thank you for this video.. God bless you and family.

[@auyannaplants]

This was really helpful! I have three collard plants that I saved from last year sprouting the seed pods but I haven't pulled them to let the dry (I guess I have to wait a few more weeks?) I really want to focus more on seed preservation and growing more vegetables I like.

Thanks so much for this video. I plan to save some collard green seeds this year.

[@auyannaplants]

Yes! Save those seeds and plant them year after year. Thank you so much for watching!

[@RicoTravels]

Such a good video! I love collard greens to make some caldo verde (portuguese soup). So to get it to flower I can't take any of the leaves off the plant until it flowers? I've planted this for a few years now but it never gets to that stage for me.

[@auyannaplants]

I constantly harvest them. Yes you can harvest the leaves. When it flowers for us that means that the temperature is too warm and they bolt and start producing seed.

[@sandrasquare9107]

I wish I'd seen this video before I cut down my flowering branches. I had no idea that collards made seed pods.

[@auyannaplants]

oh no! Yes the pollinators love the flowers too. That is OK when you grow them again you can save them. Thanks so much for watching!

[@2ndfloorgardens]

I did the exact same thing! I thought that meant i could propagate them so i cut them all off.

[@gardeningwithmel]

Great vid Sis! 👌

[@auyannaplants]

Thank you so much and thank you for watching!

[@2ndfloorgardens]

So this is my first time letting mine go to seed and i wanted to know, should i pull the last few leaves off so no energy gets waisted on them? Excellent video

[@auyannaplants]

I don't pull anything off. The leaves will start to get smaller but I just let the plant take its course and product those seeds to save them. Thank you so much for watching!

[@2ndfloorgardens]

@@auyannaplants thank you for the help

[@ChefRedATL]

Hi im new to your channel. Thanks for walking me through. Im also new to growing collars. I have 4 plants i planted in feb. They grew med leaves and started flowering. The apids started attacking in may. I decided to cut them and pput them in water. Some started rooting and some turnd brown. After flowing i heard the tree will not produce anymore,. Is that true?

[@auyannaplants]

Thanks for watching. It depends on the variety of collards that you have. The varieties that I have grown once they flower may produce very small leaves but often times once they start to go to seed the taste changes. I hope this helps. Thanks again for watching!

[@NichWoodruff]

I have seed pods now. I live in Georgia (Atlanta). When do you recommend planting the seeds?

[@auyannaplants]

Most leafy greens like collards are kale are best grown in the fall and early spring. We are in the Savannah area and I plant my greens late summer early fall. Mine are going to seed now so I will save them in a cool dry place and plant them again for fall. Hope this helps and thank you so much for watching!

[@auyannaplants]

Thanks for watching!

[@khathutshelonelukalo189]

Thank you so much for sharing this information. My collard greens have seeds but continues to grow and the seeds pods are not drying. Can I harvest green pods and dry them to save seeds?

[@auyannaplants]

You are so welcome and thank you for watching! it does take the seed a long time to dry. I have known others to take them off and let them dry off of the plant. I try and let them dry as much as possible on the plant because I have been told that it helps with the germination rate when you are ready again. I would definitely say try laying the green pods to dry off the plant to see what happens

[@strongcoffeenana4123]

Thank you so much

[@auyannaplants]

Thank you so much and thank you for watching!

[@loriwebster8574]

I have a Collard tjat is flowering now. It's in a Container. Maybe I'll let it go so I can learn how to save the seeds! How long does it take to get to the "dry" stage?

[@auyannaplants]

It does take a while from when they start flowering to when they are dry on the plant. Maybe 6-8 weeks. I always sacrifice one plant to do this while pulling the others especially if I need the space. One plant can definitely give you several seeds. Thank you so much for watching!

[@feleciawestmoreland6830]

I need your help!! I brought Georgia Collard seed and germinated them. They grew up to big leafs. So I brought bigger cart for them and here in Nc the heat has been crazy. The heat killed them. What can I do with them???

[@auyannaplants]

Collard greens are typically grown in the summer and the fall because once it gets too hot they will try and bolt and go to seed which will change the taste in them. Once it starts getting too hot I will pull them and start something else.

[@jaybatemen4497]

OMG, I had no idea I could collect the seeds, I've thrown them away. Thank you.

[@auyannaplants]

Yes I collect the heirloom and open pollinated varieties. The seeds get acclimated to my zone and I get to save by not buying seeds and share too. Win-win. Thank you so much for watching!

[@joaniephillips6000]

Can you pick the pods green and let them dry out in a brown paper bag instead?

[@auyannaplants]

I have heard many people that do it this way as well. Definitely give it a try and thanks for watching!

[@SirMillz]

Do the seeds need to be heirloom, non-GMO seeds to grow collards that will seed later on?

[@auyannaplants]

They should be open-pollinated or heirloom. Also if you are planting more than one variety cross pollination can happen. I hope to do a follow up video soon. Thank you so much for watching!

[@nelliesfarm8473]

Thank you ! I grew up up north in the 70s and 80s..I never got fresh produce back then in the big city...I moved south to Alabama onto a homestead on 55 acres..( check out my KZbin channel!) And now I'm learning to grow my own food! I have a collard plant that came up unexpectedly after I had given up on them growing..this year it's flowering so I'm gonna collect the seeds from it. I didn't know how until now. Thank you

Can you leave the seeds in the pods? What if someone planted the entire pod?

[@auyannaplants]

I always take the seeds out of the pod and put it in an envelope but you can totally try it. Thanks so much for watching!

[@KnowEyes]

How long do you have to let the seeds dry before planting them?

[@auyannaplants]

I like to let them brown on the plant but not until the point where they start dropping on the ground. I hope this helped and thank you so much for watchig!

wish i had seen this before i pulled my collards loaded with green seed pods .will they dry

[@auyannaplants]

Yes they will still dry even if you pull them off green. Thank you so much for watching!

My Collards are flowering so let it stay until the flowers drop off?

[@auyannaplants]

You will see flowers but you will also see little pods starting to develop. Let the pods from and brown on the plant if possible. Those are your seeds that you can save and use season after season. I hope this helps and thank you for watching!

I'm in WV, where we have deep freezes, and ALL my collards came back to seed. Temps do not matter to greens, from our experience.

[@auyannaplants]

Thank you so much for watching! Growing greens are some of my favorite things to grow!

[@gregboshell977]

How do you make a collard tree i think I know but not for sure

[@auyannaplants]

I think that is a particular variety. I see many growing them but I have never grown that particular variety. Although alot of varieties have a long stem so you can keep harvesting and let it keep growing.

Birds keep eating up my seeds and it is not dry yet. What do I do?

[@auyannaplants]

You may have to harvest them and hang them upside down in a brown paper bag to dry. Hope this helps and thank you for watching!
