Summary: A mild flavored variety of mustard that is fast growing and highly nutritious. Thrives in cool weather, but unlike most mustard varieties, has good heat resistance. Usually cooked as "greens" or used in salads in the same manner as spinach.
When and where to plant: Select sunny location and sow seeds as soon as the ground can be worked. Cultivate soil and enrich with vegetable food. Firm soil over seed. Repeat at 2 week intervals. In mild winter areas plant in fall and winter.
Care: Keep soil moist, weed free and fertilize lightly every 3-4 weeks.
Harvesting: For best flavor, cut leaves before full grown (salads 3-4in) leaving the growing tip to produce replacements.
Health Note: Rich in Calcium, Iron and Vitamins A, B1, B2, Niacin and C.
