Robust and fast-growing, Chinese mustard is a great cool-season crop. The broad leaves can be harvested loose, or you can wait until the plant forms a head. This plant will self-seed, so pull them out when they begin to bolt. If you’re happy with seeding, leave only a few plants to limit your numbers. In Chinese cuisine, this green is usually used cooked, but it can also be eaten raw if preferred.

How to Sow
Prepare soil with a lot of compost and organic matter prior to sowing. Chinese mustard can be started in trays but direct sowing followed by thinning is preferable because it grows so easily. The plants will grow best in full sun in temperatures between 15 – 24C. Keep an eye on the plants as they will tend to bolt if they get too hot or lack enough moisture.
How to Harvest
Single leaves or the entire plant may be harvested, either at 28 days for the tender baby leaf stage or when a fully mature head at 45 days. For freshest taste, use within five days.
