"I have grown these seeds one time and they are extremely hardy and heat tolerant, I had two different phenotypes and both produced well through the intense heat this year, and when cooked well had no bitterness. Im going to plant 6 plants for the fall along with some lettuce, kale, and spinach"
"Received them quickly"
"Growing was super easy , great directions so that’s half of the success. The whole family was enjoyed the delicious collard greens . Even better than the one one we buy at the fancy supermarket or fresh fruit and vegetable markets . Try it , you won’t regret it"
"Too early to tell how this will grow but clear instructions on how to plant and have successful growth! The packaging was nice and plenty of seeds were provided."
"growing well"
"I haven't gotten to see the result of the seeds as of yet so I can only speak on that way that it arrived and the packaging. It arrived undamaged and the pack of seeds were standard for seeds."
"Great seeds that came in a nice package. Seeds germinated well and plants are looking very healthy and thriving. Would recommend for a beginner gardener."
"I let my autistic son to start germinating them. He did a few. Because he didn't keep up with them, they didn't have a chance to mature. I do have seeds left and will grow them next year. I'm getting married soon and didn't have time to set up my garden. We were going to grow for our tortoise. I've used this brand before and everything has turned out great. They are also low cost. I live in the Midwest."
"Obsessed with these seeds to say the least! The growing conditions in the desert aren’t great for growing collard greens, but they ended up growing so well!"
"I received these free for my honest review. I direct sowed my seeds in my little garden outside. They started to grow pretty quickly and I had nice big leaves. Now if I could just get the bugs to stop eating them!"
