I know terrifictom mentioned this with his plot but my straight collard plot is now growing. I guess the 5 straight days of 80s got them up and growing again. I assume gly will kill them? The plan is to plant beans in that plot in a month.

I figured I'd find out what forage collards will do when planted in mid May here. I know terrifictom had at least "okay" results with an early planting. I sprayed about .3 acre on the neighbor's place this morning, then broadcast collards this afternoon. I got lazy and didn't cultipack today. If we don't get a decent rain tomorrow, I'll go ahead and hit them with the 'packer tomorrow or Friday (I may even do it if we do get a decent rain).
I figure if either the neighbor or I throw a bag of a high N, decent P&K fertilizer at them right before a rain a couple times this growing season, they may do ok.
edit...we got maybe a dozen drips of rain last night. I cultipacked the plot today. I was thinking I would take advantage of more consistent spring moisture....but I'm starting to wonder if we're going to get any?

Last year when I planted my test plot of collards that I planted late in May, I put down 4 forty pound bags of urea and 3 fifty pound bags of triple 19 on 1 acre. By early August they were showing signs of needing some nitrogen. I know this was an old post, but I'm thinking about a spring planting of collards at the neighbor's again. Last year's drought ruined any chance of a crop here, so I never learned much about a season long collard plot. Yours never bolted during the growing season, correct?

A few of them started regrowing from roots in spring of year, which the deer hammered on them and completely cleaned up any remaining plants.

I blew on my last ten pounds of collards yesterday.
