I grow 2 different kinds Georgia and Champion, we like them both so it makes no difference.

I am looking for more tender collards, in particular, I am also looking for a collard that has deeply lobed leaves common to South American cuisine.

Dude, what variety is that in the pic? All I've heard of are Vates and a yellow one that a former iDig member had.

Is it this Couve Tronchuda (Portuguese Kale) perhaps? www.edhat.com/site/tidbit.cfm?id=1787Brazil being Portuguese speaking, it would make sense that this is part of the Brazilian cuisine. There is a Brazilian restaurant near here but I'm not paying $40 a plate to ask them what kinda collards they serve,

Not many grow the yellow ones since the only official seed source is the Collard Shack in Ayden, NC. It's the first that we've found up here which will never bolt the first season. They produce well past frost with tender leaves all the way. Only way that I could get seeds was to pull 4 of the best plants and bury them under a pile of leaves. When replanted in the spring, they were a mass of blooms a month later. Collected about 3 ounces of seeds. Wondered about germination so planted about 20 in a short row in an outside bed in early October. Ended up with about 20 seedlings and thus included them in a seed offer on another forum. I personally am not a fan of eating collards but a lot of my friends do. Presently also have 6 select plants again resting and awaiting planting in a few months. Anyone want some seeds? I've got them!

I have some of the yellow seeds from NC, but I only grew them once. I should really attempt them again this year. Hopefully, the seed is still viable, but I have more than enough to broadcast them thickly in hopes of a few plants. Thanks for reminding me about them and the feedback on their growth in a northern area, Paquebot.
