Growing Collard Greens
I planted Collard Green seeds last year in early Fall. The plants came up and I did not cut them down as usual. They survived the winter and now have grown to about five feet tall with yellow flowers on top. What should I do? Should I cut the flowers to promote leaf growth? Will cutting the flowers kill the plants?

I think that your collard greens will be tougher than usual.

You can cut the flowers off. It will not hurt the collards. They will keep growing, enjoy, good luck.

The older the collard plant, the smaller the leaves. I planted a collard plants this spring. Can I get the fall season out of it by cutting it down to the ground? My location is Dallas, TX.
