Organic Mike Giant Mustard seeds - Ferme de Sainte Marthe seeds

The Giant Mike Mustard is a variety native to China, reaching a height of 60 cm (24in). Its leaves are green with serrated edges. Its flavour is strong and spicy, similar to arugula. It can be consumed raw, sliced as a condiment in salads and raw vegetables, or cooked, like spinach. The spiciness disappears when cooked. Its taste becomes more anise-like. Sow in August and September for a harvest in May and June.

Mustard has been cultivated for a very long time in China, Japan, and India. It requires a supply of well-rotted compost (3 kg/m²).

Harvest: Harvest the Chinese mustard, leaf by leaf, as needed.

Storage: Mustard leaves should be consumed as soon as possible.

Gardener's tip: Regular weeding and hoeing should be done. A protective insect net can be installed against flea beetles.
