** My query: Does any one know of a place in Houston that sells Collards or, in a pinch Mustard or other green seedlings? **

I have 3 flats of them in my front yard. Collards, mustard greens, and two kinds of kale that I picked up on the “free plants” stand at my local mom & pop nursery. Figured it was getting too hot for them, so that’s why they were out there.
Gave some flats away to friends.

I don’t know how you cook them. Sorry, I’m about 300 miles from you or you could have them. :(

Collards and mustard are great. You can mix them together.
Wash, chop, place in a pot of water, burn on the burner.
Cut up some bacon and chopped onion, add to the greens, salt and pepper to taste. Wonderful any time of the year.
Sometimes I mix in spinach, or beet leaves and even carrot tops. Enjoy. Actually, in our home, if it’s green and edible, it will go in a pot of anything else that’s green, always with bacon and onions. Some people have other ways to cook collards, mustard greens, beet tops. There’s a new
English pea with fancy tendrils, my friend planted some, so I added those tendrils and under formed peas to the pot too.
