Collards have overgrown and really gone to seed

I can say that these Collards have really been enjoyed this season....I was able to get some beautiful leaves in the Spring (before anyone even thought of planting .and when the leaves started giving out...the buds formed and I was able to gather them up and cook them in a little Olive oil and salt< I enjoyed them so that Cecil ventured to try some too! and liked them...
I even saved some of the ones that grew into seeds for next years crop...but I'm not letting Cecil cut them all the way down....I think after they rest during the summer, they will start producing again when it's cooler....lets wait and see :o)
