COLLARDS(Brassica oleracea)
GRCGREEN GLAZECert. BD/OGNEW!Green Glaze has mostly shiny leaves and a mild taste cooked or raw. Ira Wallace from Southern Exposue Seed Exchange together with others has reenlived the interest in collard greens. Collards in general which are in the cabbage species, often have a more dull green as seen in cabbage leaves. Green Glaze has some of that type. Here at MH farm when we grew the seed we selected for the shiny green leaves but there will probably still be some that are more toward the less shiny. Green Glaze was made available through their community work and is one of the oldest heirloom collards in the US. Start inside where winters are harsh. Mild winter, plant out 4-5 weeks prior to last frost. (That means you sow inside about 6 weeks before that transplant.)| S$4.00=0.1 g, ~20 seeds | |
