I grew Georgia Southern at our old house. I planted seedlings in the fall, they made nice plants and we ate collards all winter. In the early summer, some bolted and went to seed. Some didn't. The plants that didn't bolt stayed with me for 4 years before they finally went to seed. They got as tall as I was, fell over, twisted around and looked like a bed of skinny snakes with big leafy ears. I was delighted.

I picked the lower leaves for the chickens all summer, they loved having fresh greens. In the fall/winter we ate collards, but I still shared with the chickens.

That means most likely mine are alive???!!!! That would be awesome!
