Master Gardener: Tricks to Easy Growing Mustard Greens


Micro greens, the first shoots of plants and veggies are both prized by master gardeners and cooking chefs worldwide. Balconies, kitchen tops and windowsills are excellent indoor growing spaces where with a touch of care you can effortlessly have a bunch of baby green salads all year long. Spare a few more seconds and I’ll walk you through some tricks to easy growing mustard greens.


Mustard Greens are Equally Easy to Grow and Prepare   

Choosing the Best Mustard Variety for Growing

I realize that this line may sound a bit unreal, but my personal experience says that every single mustard variety I’ve tried growing did just fine.

All I do with these fast growing plants is put them in moist, rich, well-drained soil and make sure they get lots of sun. I also feed them with carefully chosen nutrient solutions for plants to ensure the best harvest results.

It might have been a coincidence, but all mustard varieties I grow are easy and fun to deal with. Mostly due to their fabulous taste my mustard champions are varieties called Osaka Purple and Mizuna Red Streaks, both famous for possessing warm, peppery flavor.

Did You Know That the Mustard…

...family is spread all over the world in various types like black, brown and white mustard. I was also very excited to find out that mustard is one of the oldest spices known to mankind.

The best for the last - the city of Wisconsin, USA runs a museum dedicated to a single thing or more precisely to a single plant - mustard. The museum owns a collection of 5,000 jars of mustard, which come from 60 countries and 50 states! How about that!
