Cultivation: Mustards grow best in mild, cool climates. Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. Sow seeds in early to late spring or late summer to early fall. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Plant every 2 weeks for continuous harvest. Bolting will occur when temperatures and day length increase. Rotate crop at least every 3 years.
