Morris Heading Collards

The collard seedlings have grown enough to transplant, so into the south raised bed they went today.  I added some light mulching around them to help protect them from drying out too quickly.  As they grow larger, I can add more.  I also over-planted them, not only in their starter trays, but also in the raised bed.  If any die right away, I have more on standby.  The seeds were very prolific, so hopefully the plants will be resilient.

Morris Heading Collards, small but plentiful.
The back of the bed is standing by for cabbage seedlings, once they get big enough.
