    Floating row covers can provide adequate protection for heavy frosts. Cold frames work better for protectiing collards against heavy snows and freezing; however, southernmost regions generally do not require much in the way of winter protection other than a bit of mulching.

    Most greens tend to become tough once the plant has bolted. You may be able to harvest some of the younger leaves and test taste to see if they are tolerable or not. Otherwise, pull the plant.
