Collards from Seed to Harvest: Part 2 🌱 Since someone thought my collard greens were fake, I’m showing you the real process from start to finish! Today I’m starting collard seeds indoors using my Sili Seed Trays. I plant each seed about 1/4 inch deep, but Garden Bestie, don’t feel like you have to buy special trays. You can get creative and make your own with things you already have at home: paper towel or toilet paper rolls, old egg cartons, and more. If you do want to try the @sili_seedlings

How do you save seeds from collards in cold climates? Collards are biennials and take two growing seasons to produce seeds. Typically these crops are left in the field to overwinter until spring when they resume growth. However, here at Heritage Farm (Zone 4b) it gets too cold to successfully overwinter collards outdoors, so we dig them up and store them inside our root cellar until spring. Watch this video to learn how we prepare first-year collard plants for potting up! #BiennialCrops #SaveCol
