Collard Greens

Harvesting kale and collard greens begins about 40 days after planting. More specific instructions about how many days from planting to harvest will be found on the seed packet. Harvest by cutting at the base of the plant about ½ inch above the soil line. Greens can be bunched together with a rubber band or string. To keep greens fresh rinse them in cold water and keep refrigerated. Unlike many other vegetables greens can be stored wet.
