Alternatively, sow indoors in seed trays and transplant outdoors once seedlings are large enough. Harvest young leaves for tender salads, or allow plants to mature for heartier greens.

 

This nutritious and low-maintenance mustard green is ideal for frequent harvesting, providing fresh leaves for your kitchen all season long.
