GROWING INSTRUCTIONS:
Since mustard greens thrive in cool weather, they taste best when grown as an early spring or fall crop. Direct sow seeds outdoors in spring or summer, planting them ¼ inch deep in well-draining soil. Space seeds about 1 inch apart and thin seedlings to 6-12 inches apart when they have a few true leaves. Plant in full sun to partial shade and provide regular water, keeping the soil evenly moist. Fertilize with a balanced organic fertilizer as needed.
