This large leaved mustard is a wonderful addition to the early salad garden. It is a quick and easy to grow crop, either thinly sown in drills in early spring, or brought on in modules before planting out at least 15cm apart. It is also suitable to grow overwinter with the protection of a greenhouse or cold frame. These plants can be harvested as a cut and come again crop, or you can pick individual leaves. Vietnamese mustard can be stir-fried or mixed with other salad leaves. It is sweet with a delicate peppery kick. Before the flowers open the tiny, lime green florets can add texture and flavour to salads. This variety has proven to grow well in the Welsh climate.
Approx. 250 seeds per pack.
Botanical name: Brassica juncea
- Grown by: Maggie Carr
This is an easy and fairly hardy crop. Sow in spring (February or March) under cover for an early crop. Prick out into modules and when large enough harden off before planting in the garden. Plant 10 – 15 cm apart and harvest one or two of the larger leaves for the kitchen on a regular basis. When the plants start to flower you can eat the flower buds in salads.
Mustard can also be grown outdoors by sowing thinly in a drill later in the year anytime from midsummer until mid September. Thin the plants out to the same planting distance and use the thinnings in your salads. Mature leaves are good in stir frys, curries and stews.
The plants will overwinter with a little protection.
