Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation is required for collard seeds.

Sowing:

Directly sow seeds outdoors after the last frost date when the soil temperature is consistently above 50°F (10°C).
Plant seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep and space them 12-18 inches apart in rows spaced 18-24 inches apart.
Alternatively, start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date and transplant seedlings outdoors after they have developed 2-3 true leaves.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days, depending on soil temperature and moisture levels.
Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.

Transplanting:

If starting indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures have warmed.
Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week before planting them in the garden.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Collards require regular watering to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods.
Weeding: Keep the area around collard plants free of weeds to reduce competition for nutrients and water.
