Resilient Collard Greens Plants. 3.11.18

This is different. These are old collard greens plants that I pulled out last fall to clean up a garden bed. I threw them into the chicken yard so the hens could pick them clean, and left them in the sun for a couple of weeks. The stems were still firm, so I thought, wonder what will happen if I replant them. So I did. They survived the winter, and are making new crowns of greens on the top again. Those are resilient plants.  We've been eating greens from the collard greeen plants all winter long.  This is the 3rd year for these chicken-rescue plants.
