Growing Your Organic Southern Giant Curled Mustard

Mustard greens thrive in the cooler temperatures of spring and fall. Choose a location with full sun and rich, well-drained soil. Direct sow seeds 1/4 inch deep and space rows 10-12 inches apart.

Thin seedlings to 5-6 inches apart once they emerge. Keep the soil consistently moist. For a continuous harvest, consider planting seeds every 10-14 days during the cooler months. Harvest baby greens when they reach 4-5 inches tall for salads or harvest mature leaves for cooking. Avoid leaves that have started to yellow.

Mulching can help retain moisture and keep the leaves clean.
