| Georgia Southern collards are the easiest of the cole crops. Like other leaf vegetables, they can be picked at any time and grow very quickly. Compared side by side with Lacinato kale, Georgia Southern grows much faster and with much more pest resistance. They need almost no care at all. Aphids can\'t hide as well in the flat leaves, compared the the savoyed leaves of Lacinto. It preformed well in the heat, but late in the spring, it got aphids just like the other cole crops. Therefore it is a strictly cool season crop, but I have never seen one flower. I would recommend to anyone as a dependable, hardworking variety. |

| In NC this is a fabulous fall/winter crop - had fresh ones on New Years Day. Grown in raised bed, just piled leaves on during heaviest frosts. Great flavor, no bitterness after the frosts. |

| I seed in June for a fall crop. It is reliable with the usual cabbage pests but not as bad. This will usually overwinter (even with 5-10 degree weather) and give a few pickings in the spring before going to seed. Best tasting in the cold weather. |

| i fed five families from the small plot that i planted and if you crop them early for tender greens they are the best in flavor and are not bitter as some greens. I have a friend from PA that did not know what a collard was now she does and she loves them |
