This will be my first summer fertilizing with worm castings, so I can only hope I have kale like yours. I would still like to do the perennial tree collards is I could only find them.

LoL – these aren’t tree collards, Carol
It was just regular type of Kale (Red Russian?)

These worms, I tell ya – they’ve got magical powers!

Where did you get seed for Tree Collards? I live in the Midwest United States, and I haven’t found them in my standard seed catalogs.

Thanks, Walt and John!

Mike – it’s very unlikely that the “trees” will survive since in an exposed raised bed. I HOPE that some of the kale in my gardens makes it by being buried in snow. We shall see. A neighbor seems to have had some overwinter, so I know it’s possible.
Here’s hoping!

Bentley, how do you keep the tree collards / kale alive during the winter months? Figured Canada got pretty cold…

I’d have to agree. Kids, worms and gardening when combined together make for some good times and warm memories.
Don’t blink. Those little ones grow up way too fast.

We just start our winter garden this time of year. Look forward to this season. Beautiful children and vegetables.
