Collard greens are a fast-growing cool season vegetable that produce leaves packed with vitamins and minerals. It is a crop that is hugely popular in southern cooking, and many people enjoy growing the vegetable as it is easy to cultivate and can provide multiple harvests.
Collard greens are hardy down to 15°F, which means the plants are capable of providing a harvest throughout the winter months in many US hardiness zones. I grew, maintained, and harvested collard greens in a productive vegetable garden. The crops were harvested for chefs for a long period from fall through winter.
