I have collard greens from last year. This year most of them starting having nice yellow flowers after the flowers I start noticing something that looks like beans (still small but growing).
Are those beans edible? I try to look for it on internet and I couldn't find anything.
Thanks
Those "beans" are, most likely, seed pods. When they dry out, collect them in a bag (be sure and label it).
Then, when the time is right for planting collards, you'll already have seeds ready to go.
Note: This pleasant scenario works if you were *not* growing a hybrid variety last year but rather an open-pollinated (heritage, heirloom) variety. If you grew a hybrid, you'll most likely get collards--as opposed to not getting collards--but they may look or taste different from what you had.
