Description
When picked young, this light green serrated leaf mustard brings a delicious, spicy, wasabi-like flavor to a salad mix of baby leaf greens. The large, tender, mature leaves are ruffled with curly edges and are best cooked. Very cold tolerant. Cool season annual Maturity: Approx. 40-45 days (20-25 for baby leaf) Planting season: Spring or late summer/early fall. Culinary tips: Use mature leaves for tsukemono, ohitashi, stir-frying, and pickling. Use baby leaves for salad and fresh eating. Cultivation: Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. Sow seeds in spring or late summer/early fall in a sunny location. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Plant every 2 weeks for continuous harvest. The flavor is best when grown briskly so plant in fertile soil and keep well watered. Start harvesting at 20 days for baby mustard greens. For cut-and-grow-again crops, seed can be densely broadcast.
