Burrell Seeds 2018 Catalog

COLLARDS Heirloom collard green seeds are easy to sow directly in the garden. In cool climates, plant early spring, at 1/2” depth, 12” to 18” apart in 2 1/2’ to 3’ wide rows. Evenly moist, fertile soil with full sun is optimum, but they will tolerate light afternoon shade. Start 6 to 8 weeks before fall frost date in warm climates. Vates 50G 75 Days | Large dark green leaves with mild cabbage-like flavor.

Plants grow 2 to 2 1/2’ tall and will stand light freezing. This fine type was developed by the Virginia Truck Experiment Station and is more uniform and compact than older collards.

Corn seeds require fertile ground and should be planted in blocks rather than long rows for pollination. Full sun and warm weather are a must. In cooler climates, using cloches fashioned from old milk jugs helps hasten the harvest, but starting corn inside is not recommended. Plant corn seeds 1” to 2” deep, 4” to 6” in 2 1/2’ to 3’ wide rows, two weeks after the last spring frost. (Planting corn seed too early is risky.) Water well after planting and keep moist during germination. When plants are 3” to 4” tall, thin to 8” to 12” apart. Corn is designed to grow fast, so periodic fertilizing is recommended. Take care not to damage the roots while weeding. In dry conditions, keep the shallow roots well watered.
