Great info for beginner gardeners, Brother Sid.

Appreciate it Big Rob. Hope all is well.

Awesome…Thanks for sharing…Salute!!!🍃🍃😎

[@TheNakidGardeners]

Thanks. What are you growing for the fall season?

[@blackgunsandgardens]

So far I have dropped Morris Heading Collards, Georgia Collards, and Improved Brussel Sprouts but it’s more to come…I appreciate you asking…Salute!!!🍃🍃👊🏽

[@jwhillproductionsllc]

Thanks for the tips. Starting this week! Success!

[@TheNakidGardeners]

Awesome! Good luck and happy gardening

[@Black-ig6vh]

👍🏾 I just bought a tray of collards from Home Depot. This will be my first time, since I finally bought a house. This video was right on time. I have some broccoli and cabbage sprouts in my basement (w/AC.) Should I start the collards inside as well? Sorry, if you already answered that. I was shopping and driving during half of the video 😅🤷🏾

[@TheNakidGardeners]

It all depends what you feel comfortable with. Some people start them indoors, direct sow in the direct, or start them inside. Find out which way you have your best success at and go that route.

Love your channel. I live in Texas as well so your channel is most definitely right up my alley. Thanks!

Great video! Thanks for all the helpful tips. Happy gardening 👩🏽‍🌾🌱

[@TheNakidGardeners]

Thanks Tammy. Have you started any seeds yet this year?

[@IAmTammyJ]

You’re welcome. I haven’t gotten mine started yet because I currently live in Germany (originally from NC), and I have a couple more weeks before I can get started. But I’m so ready like right now. I think my biggest concern is what to add to the soil.

[@TheNakidGardeners]

@@IAmTammyJ Do you know what type of soil you have or what your soil pH is?

[@IAmTammyJ]

Honestly, no. I guess I should also mention I will be growing in grow bags. I have to purchase soil this week. I’ve noticed so many adding perlite, vermiculite, and other things and I guess that’s the most confusing part for me.

[@EvettesGardenTales]

Thank you for this video! This will be my first time starting collards from seed.

[@TheNakidGardeners]

That is awesome. How long have you've been gardening?

We like y'all's seed starting mix. We use Jeffy. We need an indoor grow light setup. We look forward to your Fall garden. We should do a Collard Green Challenge. . Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your evening

[@TheNakidGardeners]

We used to use Jiffy mix when starting out. But as our garden grew, we found out that making our own was more cost efficient. We should do a Collard Green challenge. We can call it Put It In The Pot Challenge haha

Any tips on container planting? I don’t have land so I patio garden

[@TheNakidGardeners]

Yes! Buy or make a great well drainage potting mix. We started out with container gardening and still do some to this day. It does require more watering (during the summer) and fertilizer more due to most of the nutrients flows thru the bottom of the container from watering. Plus not many beneficial bacteria, fungi, and insects feeding the plants. Make sure you get a big enough container to plant/grow then in.

[@janegillespie7913]

[@dwighthires3163]

I am one of those who have no interest on growing collard greens unless my animals want them. However, for someone who has no interest in growing collard greens, you made it interesting to me because of the details about germination soil and your steps of getting any plants up and growing.

[@TheNakidGardeners]

What animals do you raise? I'm glad you found it interesting in helping with starting seeds, at least. Do you have a garden?

[@TheJuanisha22]

I agree because I’m starting to garden & I never knew nothing about germinating soil

Good tips, Georgia collards the best 👀

[@biancagoodman860]

I started my seeds in a metal pan from the dollar store. They are cute little flowers right now. I’m so impatient I need them to start leafing. Right now they look like little clovers. I just need to know how long it takes to get bigger lol

[@TheNakidGardeners]

Normally they should take about 45-60 days when you can harvest the whole plant. Or you can do a cut and come along and harvest them to the go to flower

[@pearlbrown177]

Hi you don't use a dome just the lights?

[@TheNakidGardeners]

That is correct. l. You can use a dome, but I control the moisture of the flat easier with no dome and allow the soil to dry out once 80% have germinated

[@pearlbrown177]

@@TheNakidGardeners So a heating mat is not needed?

@pearlbrown177 not necessarily but helps on heat loving plants like tomatoes, egg plant and hot peppers.

When do you add fertilizer? What do you use?

[@TheNakidGardeners]

Great question. I normally fertilize when 80% of the seeds have germinated and have their first TRUE leaves.

Omg, I need a one on one teaching 😂

@@TheJuanisha22 I am sure you are doing fine. What are you needing help with?

[@cher9422]

When to plant after the winter for collard greens

[@TheNakidGardeners]

Depending on your location. Here i Texas, if you grow thrm in the shade, you can start them indoors now. Otherwise they will bolt and go to flower.

[@Sertilya]

Ok so at what point are they considered transplants and what does the true leaves look like

[@TheNakidGardeners]

Normally 4-6, they should have their true leaves. It will mot look like the first set of leaves that germinated. Thats when you can transplant them into the ground.

[@Sertilya]

Thank you so much I start my seed 11-27 it’s 12-28 is it to early in the year to put them outside

Just answer a simple question, does collard green seeds need to be under a heat lamp.

[@TheNakidGardeners]

No brassicas do not need heat to germinate

[@lakayladumas4793]

Could I grow inside keeping the pot by an open window? 😂 something outside keeps eating my kale and I don’t want it eating my collards

[@TheNakidGardeners]

There are some options with growing them inside. 1. Using the Kratky/hydroponics with spectrum lighting. basically lights that has colors to simulate growth, fruiting, etc. 2. In container with the same type of lighting 3. You can use the window but it not respond depending on how much light you can get from the sun. Luckily, green leafy plants do not require much light but should have at least 6 hours of direct sunlight and 8-12 indirect sunlight (IMO only) 4. Keep them outside. you probably have cabbage worms, cutworms, or cut beetle eating on them. a.) Spray some Bonide Thuricide (BT) on your green leafy plants that you are noticing bites on them. Spray front side and back side of the plant(s). Wash off after harvest before eating. b.) If you do not want to spray, plant some things on plants, I understand. Grow some allums or marigolds around your plants to help deter insects.

[@lakayladumas4793]

@@TheNakidGardeners okay thanks I did want to plant some flowers and marigolds are cheap around here!
