So have ordered some seed today to see how they go.

Some time ago a Southern acquaintance gave me her grandma's cornbread recipe too, so you have rekindled my interest in doing that again too .

I think you should be fine growing Collard Greens unless the salt proves to be detrimental. I live in an area that is not close to a beach, but is very sandy and Collard Greens grow all over the area. Think South and Georgia together.
