I was slightly confused at first as your writing on the envelope looked exactly like my sisters.

You are all welcome, good luck with them!

Looking forward to sowing mine. Many thanks.

I have been doing a bit of reading about collards. How big are the plants? I hate brassica leaves so it will only be my OH eating them, so how many plants do you recommend.

I took this photo of a plant this morning. I put a florist type bucket next to it to give an idea of the size.

Sorry, forgot about this.
Difficult to say how many you would need, but they keep producing new leaves all summer so maybe three or four plants?

misfit · « **Reply #34 on:** October 15, 2009, 11:54:21 »

so can you just cut off what you need and leave the plant to carry on growing ?

Yes, that's what I do.

It might not be very clear from the photo that the plant now has a longish stem with all the leaves near the top. All the lower leaves have been picked, leaving lots at the top still to pick.

So it's a non-hearting cabbage. I knew there were such things, but they disappeared long ago on this side of the Atlantic.

earlypea · « **Reply #39 on:** October 16, 2009, 08:19:22 »

They haven't quite disappeared. There was an Irish one called 'Delaway' from County Mayo in the 2009 Heritage Seed Library catalogue which I was hoping to get my hands on. They describe it as ' a dark green, spring cabbage.....pick by the leaf and it will regrow like spinach'

They say best sown in August for this one.
