<< Back to Gardening TipsMustard Greens
Plant your mustard right into the garden, as early as you can start digging. They love the cool weather and you can usually get both a spring and a fall crop.Your seeds should be no deeper than half an inch, and sown between 1 and 2 feet apart. Plant a few seeds at each point, and thin down to one plant once they sprout.
Take care of your plants while they grow with regular watering and weeding. Mustard doesn’t compete well so keep the bed free of weeds so your plants can thrive. Water whenever the weather gets dry. Moisture-stressed plants will go to seed early.
Once the heat of the summer is past, put another seeding out to grow again during the cooler fall weather. Apply Blessings Blends OMRI-Listed Premium Compost (.5 – .5 – .4) for best results.
