So, I ordered a package of seeds and will try to grow some this next summer. I will see if we like them before I can or freeze any. Aren't they pretty winter hardy? I have pretty mild winters here. Maybe they would overwinter like chard and then I wouldn't have to do anything except pick them.

My husband puts on his greens. The pot in the tutorial is a HUGE pot and I do mean HUGE. I honestly don't know how many it takes as we just keep adding the leaves as they wilt down until the pot is full. We usually get about 21 quarts from the pot patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12570517928939568824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359618907926889520.post-4085501473572877612018-01-20T20:23:44.910-05:002018-01-20T20:23:44.910-05:00Dear Patsy,

Does it take quite a few leaves to make a jar? If the pot in your tutorial is full of leaves, how many jars would you say that makes? Thanks.<br />Love, KelseyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359618907926889520.post-37833023460524193092018-01-20T16:52:40.450-05:002018-01-20T16:52:40.450-05:00Little Penpen, the collards are so good canned too...Little Penpen, the collards are so good canned too!

We have frozen them before, after they were cooked.
