Kales are very cold-hardy, often surviving below zero. Their flavor is best when sweetened by frost. Generally planted in mid to late summer for winter use, and picked leaf-by leaf as needed.
Collards are actually a non-heading cabbage, with smooth leaves you can pick one by one instead of in a single head. Collards tolerate heat better than any other brassicas, and quite a bit of cold as well. My mother--like many people--survived the Great Depression because collards were in the garden.
