When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED. 4 to 6 weeks before average last frost, or as soon as soil can be worked. Successive Sowings: Every 3 weeks until early fall for continuous harvest. The advantage of late summer sowings is that the best mustard flavor occurs after light fall frosts. Mild climates: Can be sown in late fall through winter for winter-early spring harvest.
When to start inside: Not recommended.
Harvesting: You may start harvesting leaves when they are 2" tall, as needed, or let plant grow to maturity and remove entire plant. Spring harvest should be complete before summer heat arrives. Late summer crops will last until the first hard freeze.
