COLD HARDY GREENS

COLLARDS:

Most collard green varieties are ready to harvest in 55 to 75 days. Light frosts aren’t a problem for these cooking greens, as cold weather converts starches into sugars making leaves sweeter!

• Soil Needs: Moist, Fertile, Well-Drained
• When to Plant: Six to Eight Weeks Before Fall Frosts
• Planting Method: Direct Seed or Transplant

SWISS CHARD:

Swiss Chard is known for its mild earthy taste. Some varieties are also considered to be sweet and tangy. Easily shrugs off light frosts to keep its tender leaves and colorful stems going.

• Sun Exposure: Full Sun or Part Shade

• Soil Needs: Moderately Fertile, Well-Draining Soil

• When to Plant: Five to Six Weeks Before the First Frost

• Planting Method: Direct Seed or Transplant
