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.
