Quick and easy to grow mixture for striking, spicy mustard leaves. A great choice for patio pots, to harvest as milder ‘baby’ leaves for salads or as full flavoured, hotter mature leaves. Ideal for stir fries.
Approx. 500 seeds
Outdoors: sow thinly March-August, where they are to crop, 1.5cm (“) deep, directly into prepared, fertile, well-drained soil, which has been watered. For cut and come again baby leaves, allow 15cm (6″) between rows, or sow thinly, directly into 25cm (10″) pots. Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. No further thinning should be necessary. Keep moist. Regular sowings, made every two to three weeks, will ensure a continuous supply of leaves. Pick a few from each plant when approx. 10cm (4″) high. They will regrow for up to 4 ‘cuts.’ For mature leaves, allow 25cm (10″) between rows and thin to 20cm (8”) apart. Harvest whole plants from May. Generally, the larger the leaf, the hotter it will become.
Oriental Veg: To grow as ‘cut and come’ baby leaves or mature plants. Baby leaves can be grown in small spaces, or even pots, for the freshest selection of leaves all summer long. Also used in soups and pickles.
