This is the true curled leaf variety of mustard so popular in the South. Leaves are large and wide, bright green with very curly edges. Although somewhat spreading, the plant is quite upright in growth. Enjoy raw, or cooked as greens like spinach.
SOWING…Sow seed outdoors as early as the ground can be worked. Plant in rows 18 to 24 inches apart spacing seeds 1 inch apart in the row. Cover seed with ¼ inch of fine soil, well pressed down. Keep soil moist until plants start to grow.
THINNING…When plants are 3 to 4 inches tall, thin to 4 to 8 inches apart.
GERMINATION…Germinates in 7 to 14 days depending on soil and weather conditions.
REMARKS…Repeat planting at 2 to 3 week intervals timing last sowing to mature before the heat of mid-summer. Plant again in late summer for fall harvest. Cool weather and frost sweeten the flavor.
