| I did sow them late and they still tasted better than the other collards - compared to Georgians and Evening Star land collards. I will plant some more soon so they get a little cold, for harvesting in early spring. They produced less than the Georgians, plants and leaves are a little smaller. I love the glazing on the leaves! very pretty. |

| Green Glaze overwinters here in the Mid Atlantic well. I plant in September and leave the plants in until the beginning of March. I use wheat straw as mulch at the base of the plants. Texture and flavor are excellent. I agree that these leaves suffer less damage from cabbage worms than other varieties. |

| This is indeed a good collard. I grow them in the winter when the cabbage moth is inactive so I don't know about cabbage worm resistance, It is not as high yielding as the newer hybrids like Top Bunch or Heavi-Crop but the flavor is outstanding. |

| Green Glaze is, indeed, resistant to cabbage worms. It is also absolutely beautiful -- glossy, waxy leaves. Good taste and quite frost resistant, not as much as kales, but lasted well into November in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan - e.g. a cold place. It overwintered and produced leaves again in the spring. However, we average 200 inches of snow and it might not overwinter without an enormous snow cover. |
