Start with a live plant instead of seeds to jumpstart your veggie garden. You'll enjoy collard greens in meals sooner, instead of waiting for seeds to sprout. The pretty, blue-green, ruffled collards of this cool-season plant add interesting color and texture to the garden, so grow it where you can enjoy the view. Use collard greens in place of kale, spinach or chard: harvest young leaves to eat fresh, or add mature leaves to quiches, casseroles, soups, or stir-fries. For a long harvest, start by snipping the plant's lower leaves first, then work your way up the plant. Grow collard greens in full to partial sun, 18 to 24 inches apart. It grows 24 to 36 inches tall and matures in 45 days. Be sure to water your plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.
