CABBAGE-COLLARDS CHAMPION if started in the early spring or autumn, collards will produce copious amounts of greens from spring through late autumn. Champion is quite a cold hardy & with some protection, plants will survive the winter & provide early spring baby greens & collard raab (flowering stalks). Sometimes collards will become perennial if flowering stalks are removed from plants in spring or early summer Collards develop sweetness as the weather turns cooler in autumn. Highly nutritious. Prepare collards like kale—harvest younger, tenderer leaves, remove stems and chop small. Collard is closely related to Kale.

More About Us
When I started this journey in 2009, I found nothing existed commercially, that was reasonably priced and easy to use. There was a homemade system which I also found was not that user-friendly.
Then a friend of mine told me about a homemade method she used. However, when I tried her method, I found this also didn’t suit my needs, as it too had flaws that I considered where important. It did not keep vermin out, did not have a lockable lid and (to me) looked unsightly in the garden
