Collards
Brassica oleracea var. acephal 'Georgia'
Georgia is a high-yielding, heat-tolerant variety of collards that produces moist, tender greens. The taste is improved if plants experience a light frost before harvesting.
Collards are most tender when the leaves are between 6"-8". Harvest lower leaves first and work your way up the stalk.
Collards grow best in full to part sun with fertile, consistently moist, well-drained soil. Consider adding organic matter to improve drainage and add nutrients to your garden.
Seasonal Availability: Typically available March through June, depending on suppliers availability.

If it is planted in a pot, it should have a drainage hole to reduce the likelihood of root rot caused by water accumulating in the bottom of the pot.
Increase watering in the heat of summer and watch for wilting or browning as signs to increase watering frequency.
