Brassica oleracea
The classic collard green, with thick leaves the size of your thigh, just begging to be boiled up with a ham hock and shoveled into your gullet. Exceptionally cold-hardy and mildly drought-tolerant, these beefy beauties will keep you stacked on greens through a good portion of the year, but only if you plant them straight away. Step lively!
