• Spicy Chinese Mustard. Mustard greens are very popular in China for stir-fry, and mostly used cooked.
• The oriental mustards are a very large group of rather coarse-leaved brassicas, usually having a spicy flavour.
• The main advantage for the gardener is that they are very robust, tolerating a wide range of soil types, and most are exceptionally hardy.
• Slower growing than many oriental greens, they are less suitable for cut and come again seedlings.
• Ideal for winter harvesting.

Where to grow:

• Grow mustard in full sun or partial shade. Plant mustard in well-worked, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Add aged compost to planting beds before planting.

When to grow:

• Plant early in spring or in late August for a Autumn crop.
