Join the journey to 3ft tall collards/Harvesting & fertilizing Georgia Southern Collards.

Can I grow 3ft tall collards again this year?!!
I am so excited to be sharing my journey with you on growing 3ft tall collards again this year. Last year (2020) I actually grew my plants to a height of 3ft tall. I’ve been getting a lot of questions about how I grew mine so I thought it would be a great idea to begin making videos on how I care, feed, and maintain my collards. Thank you all for your support and lovely comments and happy gardening.

So that's what collards are. A cabbage on a stick. We don't have them here in New Zealand I don't think. Now grits, I got to check those out too.

Just bought the gallon alaska fertilizer. Thanks for your video! I am growing collard greens first time, but I am doing it from a grow bag as I am in an apartment. Going to start off very small before I go krayzie!

Yayy I’m glad you were able to keep some of your plants after the storm. I’m hoping you weren’t affected to bad?

[@elderberryjamz3654]

Those look so good. I’m kicking myself for not growing any this season, it’s too hot now, I’m in 10a and they won’t last in the heat and the bugs

[@LaLascrops]

Thank you and I understand because last summer the heat was brutal on the collard plants. I had to provide a shade cloth.

[@THEJONESFAMILYCHANNEL]

I see you my friend!!! They are looking great!!!

[@LaLascrops]

Thank you 😊

I’m a Florida homesteader as well yes it gets hot , real big greens that’s nice

[@LaLascrops]

Thank you! I had to constantly water them and keep them fertilized

[@TheOracleRealm]

Neem oil is good. It’s natural and it’s a plant that extracted. But what people don’t tell you is. You need cold press. They be getting or telling people the wrong one.

[@LaLascrops]

I agree, I was a victim when I first started out growing I bought the spray from a Home Depot lol 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@mariolopez-ri8wd]

Lalas I love your collards I am in northern MI get cold so I leave the plants out side is it ok for next spring .How do you cook them ..I take the ctr vein off and put on a crock pot and add some water a pound of fry bacon grease and all garlic powder and some hot sauce .let them cook all day ...Boy are they good ..Thank you for your video love your collards once again ..Mario

[@MeltingHeartsWaxMelts]

Thank you for the video 💜with fertilizing..I blend up my food scraps and pour them right in a hole in my tomato plants(bucket garden)soil. Do you think collards can tolerate the same? Or do I need to buy a fertilizer? Happy gardening 👩🏾‍🌾

[@LaLascrops]

Yes I have use fresh compost in my garden

[@wildernessfamilyoffaith522]

That’s the Fertilizer I use for my plants and I use egg shells

[@LaLascrops]

Yes I love using this fertilizer great results

[@NubianP6]

Thanks for the video. 🙂 I’m growing greens for the first time this year (Georgia Southern and Morris Heading), and I’m wondering if there’s any secret to growing tender greens, because you know sometimes, you get a bunch of greens that cooks up more tender than others. The only info I could find online related to greens being tender is that they need adequate nitrogen, which they get anyway through fertilizing. Do you have any other tips?

[@LaLascrops]

Hello and welcome to my channel, thank you for watching my video about harvesting and fertilizing Georgia collard greens. As for tender greens that’s a good question, my only logical guess would be to harvest the leaves sooner to help promote more tender leaves as opposed to leaving them on the plant for awhile. Of course new growth is always fresher, they longer the leaves stay on the plant the more it’s exposed to the sun. Let me know if this works for you. Also, you are on track with feeding them nitrogen because the plants only develops leaves. I hope this helps and please don’t forgot to subscribe and tell a friend! Happy gardening 👩🏾‍🌾

[@NubianP6]

@@LaLascrops thank you for your reply. Harvesting early does make sense, so I’ll definitely keep that in mind come harvesting time. Going to subscribe to your channel right now. Thanks again!

[@kallejahrollins4668]

You doing good tho..with all your plants there isnt much damage. Summertime in Florida..oh boy.. you could grow palm trees or any type of plant really.

[@LaLascrops]

Thank you so much 😊

[@kellyrodgers8600]

Thank you for sharing your journey. Where did you buy the fertilizer?

[@LaLascrops]

Hello I purchased mine form Home Depot, but if you can’t find it there I have a provided a link for the fish fertilizer in my description box

[@ladrenathomas53]

Good morning do that plant die or it lasts in the summer?

[@lindadixon5190]

Have you purchased more of those collard green seeds recently? I have not been able to find the variety you grew to 3 feet tall. If you let yours grow to seed, can I get some seeds from you?

[@LaLascrops]

Hey and welcome to my channel, no I have not purchased any new seeds for the collards. I no longer have these plants.

[@steveniannelli2756]

do the georgia southerns still regrow during the hot summers or do we have to cut the plant stem to the bottom around soil level?

[@LaLascrops]

I kept these plants fall thru summer I had these plants for about 6 months I believe. This variety can be grown in cold and hot weather, if you live in a zone that permits you to still grow I would suggest growing varieties that can handle/grow in cool/hot weather.

How many seeds in the hole to make a tree.

[@LaLascrops]

Hey I start my seedlings indoors and then transplant them outdoors. It depends on the variety of collards you grow, but as long as you feed them and keep harvesting they will get taller.

[@chandiceblair709]

Hello!! Did you grow these from seed? If so, do you remember what the name was. I'm new to gardening. Do most types grow up like that?

[@elderberryjamz3654]

Yeah, they’re from seed and I’m pretty sure she’s mentioned in previous videos that they’re Georgia collards, it usually says that or Southern or Creole collards on the packet. Walmart has ferry morse brand for like $1.50.

[@elderberryjamz3654]

And most brassicas have an upward growth pattern, you just have to keep them picked from the bottom and grow them for a long season and they’re grow into small trees

[@chandiceblair709]

@@elderberryjamz3654 Thanks for responding. I just started Southern collard seeds this year! Hopefully they turn out okay...

[@LaLascrops]

Yes I did and the variety is Georgia Southern Collards. I have a link in my bio where you can purchase seeds, and welcome to the gardening community. It really depends on the variety of collards you are growing. I know some only grow to a certain height.
