Cultivation: Prepare fertile, well-drained soil. Sow seeds in spring or late summer/early fall in a sunny location. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Plant every 2 weeks for continuous harvest. The flavor is best when grown briskly so plant in fertile soil and keep well watered. Start harvesting at 20 days for baby mustard greens. For cut-and-grow-again crops, seed can be densely broadcast.
