I would like to grow collards or collard greens. Where can I find seed or seedlings please.
Are they the same as silverbeet or does silverbeet have the same or similar levels of Vitamin A?
Hi Paul The Koanga Institute have seeds available they call it the Dalmatian cabbage.
I think i have seen it advertised in either the Egmont seeds catalogue or the Kings seeds catalogue.
All three have on line catalogues.
Collards are a type of Brassica.
