COLLARDS – Morris Heading

In case you didn’t know what collards were, the answer is simple. Collards are nothing more than a non-head-forming type of cabbage. Thanks to this, you can keep cutting leaves over a longer period of time instead of harvesting whole heads – and you’ll get that lovely blue-green colour throughout. Collards are slow to bolt – but they will come to an end once the weather starts getting hot. However, you can extend your brassica harvest with this heirloom favourite. Who ate it first? Historians differ as to whether Romans or Celts were the first – but they won’t be the last!
