Leafy, green vegetable – heat tolerant so a good substitute for kale and cabbage in tropical areas. For best flavor and texture, leaves should be picked before they reach their maximum size. Collards are also among the most heat tolerant of cole crops.
Nutritional Value:
Collards are low in calories and fat but are excellent sources of fiber, Vitamins A, C and K, calcium, manganese and folic acid. They are also a good source of Vitamins B2, B3, B6 and E and magnesium. People on blood thinners such as coumidan should be careful because of high Vitamin K content and people prone to kidney stones should be careful because of oxalate content.
Features:
Easy to grow.
Harvest in 60-80 days
Grow in seed trays, and plant out in 4-6 weeks. Sow seed at a depth approximately three times the diameter of the seed.
Best planted at soil temperatures between 8°C and 30°C.
Space plants: 40-50cm
Planting/Growing Tips:
Plant seeds ¼ to ½ inch deep, 1 inch apart in rows 18 to 30 inches apart. Thin to 12- to 18-inch spacings. Eat or transplant thinnings.
Maintenance and care:
Mulch overwintering plants.Collards don’t seem to be as troubled by pests as most other cole crops. Use floating row covers to help protect from early insect infestations.
To help reduce disease, do not plant collards or other cole crops in the same location more than once every three or four years.
