My friend had the best collards . For pest he mixed up a hot pepper spray to spray for his pest and it worked . The greens turned out perfect.

Yay! I was so happy to find you. Someone else in Chicago who was gardening in raised garden beds especially for collards. Thanks for the tips! Two years ago, I had trouble with those pesky cabbage moths that destroyed a large portion of my collards. Last year, I used tulle draped over a small greenhouse frame and that eliminated the problem. This will be my first year growing collards in a raised garden bed so i'm excited.

@BBettaGarden Месяц назад

Heya Chicago Neighbor 💚! So glad you found me, welcome! A friend suggested the fabric years ago and it was a God send. My only * around the tulle fabric is, it's hard to get it to last more than one season. But it has saved a many of greens in my garden! Happy growing! ~B

My husband and I are urban gardeners, and we have a very aggressive squirrel population. We used the tulle (5:43), but they ripped a hole and ate our brassica. We are gonna try some chicken wire next season.

@BBettaGarden Год назад

So sorry to hear that. I've found a stray cat inside of my bed once that had tulle fabric on it. I don't know if the hole was there first of the cat😞. I am using black garden to try to beat the squirrels to my tomatoes when they ripen. That of course doesn't help the brassicas situation. One last note, I've not used it but have you tried insect netting? I *believe* the fabric is thicker..now I know squirrels can tear through just about anything but it's a thought.

@lavernabouzspain 10 месяцев назад

I hear your concern. Tom squirrel came in and cause an uproar in my veggie garden. Thanks for update on the garden tulle.

I am in Texas and the pests are a huge issue here in the spring and early summer. I am trying to grow collards hydroponically inside. Your collards are the ones that I have been trying to grow for my husband. We get leaf miner issues where they get in the leaf and move around.

@BBettaGarden Год назад

Heya! I commented under a different video and asked where you were. I see you're in Texas, have you tried growing them in the Fall going into winter? I've had some flowers and weeds get attacked by leaf miners but it's been very minor (no pun intended). Also, I was poking around online and covering the greens may help against leaf miners too. "Row covers can be effective at preventing adult insects from laying their eggs. Use row covers to control leaf miners on leafy greens and other plants in areas where there was no previous leaf miner damage the year before." from www.almanac.com/pest/leaf-miners

@MooreLegacyFarms Год назад

@@BBettaGarden YES!!! Those are the ones that get my Brassicas the MOST! I will work on designing row covers. That is brilliant. I also bought tree collards this year and can’t wait to see how they turn out. I will cover them as well.

@BBettaGarden Год назад

@@MooreLegacyFarms a few years ago, I scoured the internet for ideas on creating low tunnels so I could cover my beds with plastic but I also use them more often to cover my greens with netting (isn't as effective for my greens) and the tulle fabric. Here is a video where I create the hoops. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-abTT3G2mAoM.html Since this video, I've tried one more method that lets me cover smaller beds and containers.

@BBettaGarden Год назад

Thanks Larry! I'll buy some potting soil that's on sale at the big box store, ex. Miracle grow. But based on the number of containers I have, I've been making my own. The herbal receipe I used is: 1/3 peat moss (or coco coir) + 1/3 regular garden soil or top soil + 1/3 compost I also use spent container soil and then just add some garden soil and compost until it has the look and feel of what I normally mix up. I hope this helps.

Beautiful greens! How do you store them? (chop and freeze, canning?) I've never heard anyone mention that before. 🤔

@BBettaGarden Год назад

Thank you! I've frozen them after cutting them, blanching them, putting in an ice bath, squeezing the water out and then flash freezing in cup serving size and putting them in a container or plastic bag. I've also completely cooked them, and then frozen left overs in mason jars. I wanted to try pressure canning them this year but didn't get around to it.

@BBettaGarden Год назад

Heya Kevin! Hearing your collards did well makes my garden heart sing 💚! I poked around the interweb to see if I could find a recipe that's pretty close to how I cook my collards. This recipe is pretty close www.google.com/amp/s/www.food.com/amp/recipe/paula-deens-collard-greens-346611 A lot of people add a splash of vinegar (either white or apple cider) and use chicken broth. Here is a recipe with a few other ingredients which will also get you a great pot of greens! food52.com/recipes/35213-collard-greens-with-smoked-turkey-leg P.S. some folks use bacon or ham hocks or turkey wings. My fav is turkey legs. P.P.S. There are also vegetarian and vegan recipes where you would likely use onions, peppers (sweet and maybe hot) and maybe some different types of seasons to enhance the flavor. Enjoy!

Can I directly sow in regular dirt? I’m also in Chicago and I’m trying to plant tomorrow. Is the soil to wet to sow directly? I do have raise bed soil laying around.

@BBettaGarden Год назад

Hi Chicago neighbor! Generally speaking, yes, you can do directly into the dirt. Seeds germinate at different temps though. For collards, I haven't direct sow'd them in the spring so I'm not sure if the soil is "warm enough" yet. But once you sow, I would expect to see the seeds germinate / sprout within 1 to 2 weeks.

Heya neighbor! I normally get aphids in towards the end of Summer and since I plant them in April (ish) the plants are mature. But the cabbage worm is in my area starting in April and basically until early Fall and they attack the collard leaves, no matter the size/how mature they are.

@pearlbrown177 5 месяцев назад

@@BBettaGarden Thanks that's good to know so basically the entire grow time they can be attacked. I'm debating on a screen house do you think that would be better? And what do you use for the insets and worms?

@BBettaGarden 4 месяца назад

Heya! For my area, yep, basically the entire season. And a screened in house would be great but also think about plants you may grow that need pollination (not the greens of course).. I probably point this out because I'm terrible about hand pollination☺️. And between the dirt and the plant life, I've accepted that the insects and worms will come. For the 'bad' worms (army worms, hornworms, cabbage worms) I handpick until I get them under control. P.S. there are some insecticides that are considered organic, like Bt (Bacillus Thuringiensis) that can serve as a preventative measure for some caterpillars and worms.

@BBettaGarden Год назад

@@lyricgraysonsnikkie3122 I'm so very sorry for your loss. From what you described, it sounds like the plant is completing its life cycle by flowering and then producing seeds (it's common in the year after they were planted but sometimes happens in the first year). Once this starts the leaves won't be as enjoyable. Maybe consider letting it complete the seed producing process and save as many seeds as you can (it could be hundreds or thousands) and then each year you plant from those saved seeds, you'll know you're planting seeds from the original plant your mother grew. ❤️

Hi Ericka! I bought these as transplants and unfortunately they weren't labeled so I don't know the variety.

Can you shoe the bug🐛 when you find it? I tried growing collards🥬 twice, and this is my first harvest, but nothing compared to yours. I actually saw them going to seed🤦🏾‍♀️. Not sure what I am doing wrong.🤷🏾‍♀️

Heya! I didn't follow your question about the bun. If the greens are going to seed the same year you planted them, it's probably too hot to grow them in your area at that time. For example, some folks in southern states in the U.S. only grow them in the Fall or very early Spring because it's too hot during the summer for them to grow (without bolting and going to seed).

@B Betta Garden you answered it 🤣🤣. Sorry for not being clear. I'm going to try and plant them again in August. I'm not even getting good cabbage. I live in NC in zone 7B.

@@meekshouse21 no worries☺️☺️. I have a good friend in NC. He sent this to me earlier this week. This seems to track with your plans. content.ces.ncsu.edu/central-north-carolina-planting-calendar-for-annual-vegetables-fruits-and-herbs
