Here in eastern North Carolina I put in spring greens last week. We’ve got a sandy loam garden of about 25 by 25 feet. I put in three rows each of buttercrunch lettuce, Romaine, Swiss chard, and collards.

I know collards are usually planted in the summer for a fall crop, but I’ve planted them in early spring and used them for spring greens in the past with good results. I will be yanking out half of these rows by June to make room for the tomatoes and peppers.

Mmmmm... collards! We love collards around our house. We had a neighbor give us many bags of them over the last season. We may plant them this year if things go well in the garden.
