Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special seed preparation is required for Heirloom Mustard Seeds. However, you can soak the seeds in lukewarm water for 4-6 hours before planting to soften the seed coat and promote germination.

Sowing:

Directly sow seeds outdoors in early spring or late summer, depending on your climate and the variety of mustard greens.
Plant seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch (0.6 to 1.25 cm) deep in well-prepared soil.
Space seeds 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm) apart in rows, with rows spaced 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45 cm) apart.

Germination:

Mustard seeds typically germinate within 5 to 10 days when kept at a constant temperature of around 55-75°F (13-24°C).
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.

Transplanting:

Since mustard greens are typically grown from direct seeding, transplanting is not necessary.

Care and Maintenance:

Water mustard greens regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil consistently moist.
Mulch around plants to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
Thin seedlings as needed to ensure proper spacing and promote vigorous growth.
Monitor for pests such as aphids, flea beetles, and caterpillars, and treat as necessary using organic methods.
Harvest mustard greens when they reach the desired size, typically 30 to 60 days after planting. Use scissors or garden shears to cut the leaves from the plant, leaving a portion of the plant to regrow.

Happy gardening!
