[@plips71755]

Add a pot of white beans cooked with ham hocks - and I’m moving in. Don’t forget the homemade butter for the cornbread, hot sauce and chow-chow for the beans. I’m old enough to remember wood cook stoves, and Johnny houses and water that was only running if you hauled it from the well and ran the bucket to the kitchen - even bathing in a big galv tub with water warmed on the cook stove. That cook stove went all year - winter and summer - if you wanted to eat that was. I grew up on this kind of eating - still do eat it.

Putting straw around my tomato plants this year sure helped keep the weeds down and also kept the soil from splashing up on the plants. I will be doing that from now on. You'll have to have some pickled onions to go with that first batch of collards you cook up.

R u n the south? I am, so I wonder about the warm weather but I planted mustard, collards, cabbage, kale, about a month ago. I'm a rookie, so bear w me. Now I'm thinking they might bolt b4 getting tall.... They just started coming up. .. I didn't know onions like cool weather either, n just planted ends as I bought from the grocery store. Now I see em bolting, so I cut it off but not all so I can see the difference they do, n get seeds also. Did I do right? It's my 2nd try n a yr having a pot garden so I appreciate ur tips n advice.

Where can I buy utility hay that don’t have seeds

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Thank ya for watching and commenting Mr James, welcome to our community and the channel!! I'd say if you lived in Neshoba county Mississippi, you could get good feed hay from the Neshoba County Coop!!! Have you tried tractor supply? Dan

Why didn't you fluff the bed before you put the manure on top

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Thank ya for watching and commenting Mr Mike!! That bed was a no till bed, I'm sure I turned the soil over prior to me adding the manure on top!! You have a good week sir!! Dan

[@dianawilliams-coe7747]

How do you harvest collards after you pick them....do you par-boil before putting in the freezer??

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Hey Mrs Diana, I usually pick them, give em a wash, cut them up into strips of sorts and vacuum seal them!! A lot of folks par-boil them but I just vacuum seal them and they go straight into the freezer, then again, mine don't last long in the freezer lol!! Thank ya for watching mam!! Dan

[@beaube1640]

You can do this in your back yard

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Thank ya for watching and commenting Beau Be, welcome to our community and the channel!! Oh yes, one can plant in raised beds anywhere I think, provided one has a sunny spot for them veggies to grow!! Have a good week!! Dan

Can you mix triple 13 with black cow manure to get big leaf

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Hello Willie Freeman, welcome to our community and the channel!! I don't think I'd go with triple 13, ya may burn the roots if you're using starts, I'd go with an all purpose fertilizer by say Jobes and side dress later in the season with triple 13!! I thank ya for watching and commenting, have a good week!! Dan

Is utility hay the same as wheat straw???

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Thank ya for watching mam and no mam, for my application, utility hay is a common hay that's not used to feed animals with. I use utility hay as mulch most of the time but I also use EZ straw that can purchased from Tractor Supply!! Hope this answered your question!! Have a good week mam!! Dan

[@jacquelinecaballero757]

What month , I can start planting this?

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Thank ya for watching and commenting Flaca My, welcome to our community and the channel!! I plant my collards in early fall and grow them as a winter crop, I guess it would depend on what your grow zone is. Hope this answers your question, have a good Thursday evening!! Dan

My collards have droopy leaves. I don't think they will make it. How can I restore them?

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Hello J a d e, welcome to our community and the channel!! What growing zone are you in? Collards have always been a cool weather crop for me here in east central Mississippi, the heat withers them down over here!! Thank ya for watching, have a great Tuesday!! Dan

[@AJBandkids]

I'm in zone 7b. They were doing alright for a while but now they're looking wimpy . Lately it's been around 60°-70° here so I figured it would be alright to plant.

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Hmmm, the 60 degree mark should really have them collards jumping, are you fertilizing them any? Dan

[@AJBandkids]

No fertilizer except when I first planted them. It's been two months and I dont think I put enough in. Was trying not to place too much in at the beginning.

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Some blood meal in the beginning really gives them a headstart, them collards want to put out some green leaves!! Dan

I took pix but I don't know how to send to you. You have a link or email address? This is my first year of experiencing growing in pots and raised bed 🙄 thanks Dan... Clarence Virginia 👣

Is there a reason why u have marigolds in the bed?

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Hello Mr Karl welcome to my channel and our community!! Yes sir, certain aphids do not like being around marigolds, I plant a lot of marigolds around my mater plants. They are kind of multi purpose, they look good and deter some aphids!! I thank ya for watching and do comeback and visit when ya can!! Have a good weekend!! Dan

[@growwhereyoureplantedhomes9166]

Did you plant these in October

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Hello Grow Where You're Planted Homestead and welcome to the channel and our community!! I normally plant out the collards late September depending on the weather as it's still warm in October, sometimes it's not!!

[@clarezajac3276]

Would pine straw be as good?

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Hello Mrs Clare and welcome to my channel mam!! Yes mam, brown pine straw works really well, considering the brown pine straw is non acidic compared to the green ones!! I use pine straw to mulch around my trees sometimes and occasionally in the raised beds!! Thank ya for watching mam and I hope that answered your question!! have a good weekend and do come back and visit when ya can!! Dan

[@smvgkingleo]

Mmm maybe try more dirt than hay ?! 🤔

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Thank ya for commenting SMVG and welcome to my channel!! Those raised beds are 12 inches high so there's a ton of growing medium in them for sure😀 Have a great Monday!! Dan

Please help I started growing Geagria greens but no leaves are on the stems..... What am I doing wrong??

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Hello Karen Mcclain and welcome to the channel and our community!! I guess we need to find out what growing zone you're in and what kind of collards you're trying to grow mam. Here in east central Mississippi, I normally plant brassicas for the fall garden!! Do let us know and we'll see if we can give ya a hand getting them collards growing!! Dan

[@karenmcclainowner4372]

@@HomeInTheSticks Good morning and thank you for getting back to me... I stay in. Cleveland Ohio and the greens that I am trying to grow are Geagria collard greens....I had little beginer greens and the leaves fell off and I still have the stem..some stems are dry are they dead???

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Without seeing the plants Mrs Karen that may be hard to answer. Are you having a aphid problem, maybe a watering issue as well? What are the temps at your home place, high heat could cause the young leaves to fall off as well. Dan
