Collard greens have large, bluish-green foliage.
Start from seed around mid-February. Valentines Day is a good reminder - plant something you love to eat! Direct sow in the garden, and wait for 'em to grow.
Mine have always done so well with an early spring planting even with the freezing weather that I tried planting some this past year in full-on winter. That doesn't work (see the sub-title of this blog). If you want a winter crop, plant in late fall.
Harvest individual leaves as soon as they're big enough to eat, or wait for the plant to get larger and harvest the whole thing. Easy!
