Collard Greens or Sukuma Wiki
Well don’t be too fast to think you don’t know what collard greens are, because you do know them very well.
Have you ever heard of ‘Sukuma wiki’? Of course you have, if you are an East African specifically Uganda, then you probably know it as Sukuma wiki. Actually, it is called colewort and some people just seem to mistake it for kale.
But Sukuma wiki is the Swahili version of collard greens.
And it just doesn’t matter if you want to plant it for home consumption or for commercial purpose, they are quite the easiest greens to plant and harvest within two months.
So, if you’ve been thinking of planting Sukuma wiki, here is the guide for you. But first off, I want to give you a little bit of advice.

You can grow collard greens throughout all seasons including the dry season if you are willing to water them. This is just how the farmers of collard greens in Gulu and Karimajong district do it.
But the most tasty and highly nutritious collard greens are those planted during the rainy seasons. So it’s your choice when to plant and when not to.
Just ensure that the soil is loamy, well drained and highly rich in organic matter though you still have to add manure while planting.
Sukuma wiki seeds can easily be accessed from any agricultural stores around you or even in some supermarkets at prices ranging from Ug shs 3,500 to 8,000 for a tin of 50 grams.
Mind you, the type of Sukuma wiki seeds you buy also matter a lot, for example we have the Mfalme F1 Sukuma wiki which is non acidic when cooked making it suitable for people with ulcers.
There is also the Collard Southern Georgia which gives high yields and is highly tolerant to heat. The Marrow stem Sukuma wiki however is more favorable in cool climates so as to provide the dark green leaves.
Don’t get confused with the different varieties; you can always count on the seller to explain to you the best conditions for each variety. Of course if you ask them politely.
