Nope, not kidding. I read up here on when to plant fall collards seeds, as I was remembering how delicious the fall greens taste. The answer: Ten weeks prior to first frost. According to plantmaps.com, the Lancaster CA first frost is November 1st to November 10th. Counting back 10 weeks, it's time! August 23rd is ten weeks prior to November 1st.
So here I sit culling through my seed collection, excited about collards (Georgia), wondering where all my kale seeds went (need more!), and pondering other greens.
The cherry tomatoes were incredibly prolific this year (there are 1000 unpicked tomatoes out there, no kidding). I planted a generic cherry tomato from home depot, Black Cherry tomato, and I let the seeds from last year's Sweet 100 grow. Big mistake: Sweet 100 is a hybrid and it's seeds do not produce true to it's parent. I'll buy a Bonnie Sweet 100 plant next year and save the work!
I can almost taste the sweet, tender little collard leaves now...
