Greens
When can greens be planted?
Greens can be planted whenever the next seven to ten weeks will have temperatures between 28 and 80 degrees. For most of Mississippi this means greens can be planted from September to March. Collards can produce at temperature both above and below this range and have been successfully produce year round in North Mississippi. Greens should not be attempted in warm weather months without abundant irrigation available. Greens grown in hot weather tend to be of much lower quality than cool weather greens.
