How fast do mustard greens grow?
Very fast. Southern Giant mustard is usually ready in about 40 to 50 days, and baby leaves even sooner.
When and how do I plant mustard seeds?
Sow directly in cool weather, spring or fall, about a quarter to half an inch deep. They sprout in about 5 to 10 days.
How much sun and space does mustard need?
Grow it in full sun to part shade, and space plants about 6 to 12 inches apart. Sow a fresh row every few weeks for a steady supply.
Why is my mustard so spicy or bolting?
Heat and dryness make the leaves sharper and cause flowering. Grow it in cool weather with even moisture, and pick young for milder greens.
How do I harvest mustard greens?
Cut the outer leaves a few inches long, or pick whole young plants. Younger leaves are mild and good raw; mature leaves are spicier and best cooked.
How do I use mustard greens?
Braise or saute them Southern style, add them to soups and stir-fries, or use tender young leaves raw for a peppery lift in salads.
