My first collards
Today I planted the collards. They’re transplants from Backyard Greenhouse via the Tilth sale. The variety is “Champion”; they’re supposed to be good eats for a couple of weeks longer in spring than other collards. I hope they become huge; I’ve certainly planted them with “huge” in mind. Grow, collards, grow!
These are some darn good-looking transplants, I have to say: sturdy, well-hardened, and just the right size for transplanting, not at all root-bound. If I were going to be anywhere near West Seattle on Sunday, I’d check out the Backyard Greenhouse plant sale.

I sincerely admire your ability to enjoy all things that I know are nutritious, but find inedible.

You’d be amazed what turns out to be edible if you stew it in a roux with spice paste. I was surprised, for sure.

Thanks for the tip. That Backyard Greenhouse is right near where I’ll be. Also, there’s a huge multi-neighborhood garage sale fest going on.
