A mustard-like leaf used as a green salad and fast becoming very popular. Tender, young leaves with a robust, peppery flavor add a pleasant accent to tossed salads. Cook mature leaves with other greens to add a pleasant taste sensation.
SOWING…Plant seed outdoors as soon as danger of frost is past. Plant seeds in rows 12 to 18 inches apart spacing seeds ½ inch apart and cover with ¼ inch fine soil, well pressed down.
THINNING…When plants are 2 to 4 inches tall, thin to 12 to 18 inches apart in the row.
GERMINATION…Germinates in 7 to 14 days depending on soil and weather conditions.
REMARKS…Late summer plantings yield a fine fall crop. Frequent cutting will encourage continuous growth and tender foliage. Pull plants in summer before they bolt to prevent self sowing.
