Easy to grow in garden beds, raised beds and containers, they can be picked leaf by leaf for a continuous harvest. Young leaves add a zesty kick to salads, while larger leaves are delicious in stir-fries, curries, soups, sautéed dishes and pickles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leafy vegetable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLife cycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeed type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-GMO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tangy, peppery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Baby leaves in about 3–4 weeks; full-size leaves in about 5–7 weeks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6–8 in (15–20 cm); rows 12–18 in apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSowing depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e ¼–½ in (0.5–1 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep consistently moist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContainer friendly:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeeds per packet:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Sow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMustard greens are a cool-season crop and tolerate light frost. Sow directly outdoors in early spring, a few weeks before the last frost, and again in late summer for an autumn harvest; in mild-winter climates, sow through autumn and winter. Sow ¼–½ inch deep in rows or scatter thinly, and keep the soil moist; seedlings usually appear within a week. Thin to 6–8 inches apart, with rows 12–18 inches apart. Sow small batches every 2–3 weeks for a continuous supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Grow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrow in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost, with at least 6 hours of sun daily; light afternoon shade helps in warmer weather. Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, and feed lightly if needed to encourage leafy growth. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, rotate crops each year, and watch for aphids, using organic controls if needed. In hot weather plants tend to flower (bolt) and the leaves become stronger in flavour, so harvest before summer heat sets in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvest\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePick the outer leaves regularly once they reach a usable size, leaving the centre to keep growing.
