Seeded in a vegetable plot, only a few leaves have emerged from the ground. I am disappointed by the yield.

Description
'Red Giant' Chinese Mustard is a popular, fast-growing variety that forms 15-25 cm high plants with large, wavy, red-purple leaves. Excellent, spicy flavour that gets stronger with age. Sow in March-April and September-October. Harvest 2 months later.
Mustard is a fast-growing annual plant that is mainly grown as a green manure or fodder crop, although its seeds can also be used as a condiment. It produces masses of dense leaves on 50 to 80 cm high plants. Sow from March to September.
Oriental Mustard, also known as brown mustard or Chinese mustard (Brassica juncea), is a leaf vegetable that is native to southern and eastern Asia where it has been cultivated for hundreds of years. It belongs to the Brassicaceae family. Its leaves have a strong, spicy taste and are commonly used in Asian cuisine. They can also be cooked like spinach leaves, tossed in butter or cream or eaten raw in salads.
Oriental mustard greens are easy to grow, being both vigorous and cold-resistant. Ideal for winter crops! Mustard requires deep, rich soil, regular watering and plenty of sun.
Harvest: Harvest the leaves as and when required.
Storage: Mustard leaves will keep for several days in the refrigerator, however they are best eaten fresh.
Good to know: Avoid growing mustard before a crop of Brassicas such as cabbages. Mulching with grass clippings or dead leaves will help keep the soil moist whilst limiting weed growth. Cover your crops with fine insect netting or row covers to protect them against flea beetles.
Even if the vegetable garden is first and foremost a place for growing great quality veg, it’s always a good idea to leave a bit of room for flowers. Growing flowers alongside your vegetable plants will make your general gardening experience more enjoyable and is a great way to attract pollinators and repel garden pests! Flowers such as gaillardia, marigolds, zinnias, cosmos or nasturtiums can be sown in and around the rows of vegetables. Herbs such as dill can be very useful also. Bear in mind that some companion plants self-seed easily and can be a bit invasive (borage, chives, lemon balm etc.)
NB. Organic seeds (in French "AB" for "Agriculture Biologique") are produced from plants that aren't treated with phytosanitary products (insecticides, weed killers). The seeds do not undergo post-harvest treatment. They carry the AB label and are approved by Ecocert, an independent structure.

Planting and care
Sowing:
Sow from March to April or September to October in rows, 40 cm apart. Scatter the seeds lightly and cover with ½ cm of fine soil or sowing mix. Gently firm down and water. Make sure to keep the soil moist until germination (8 days on average).
Care:
When the plants have 4 to 5 true leaves, thin them out by keeping one plant every 25 cm. Hoe and water regularly.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
