Comments (3)I have Swiss Chard "Lucullus," Spinach "Bloomsdale Longstanding," and Kale "Dwarf Blue Curled Vates," plus a variety of other seeds and herbs for trade. I'm interested in your corn, arugula and mustard greens. Just let me know if you would like to trade, either here or via e-mail. Thanks....See Moredo mustard seeds come from the mustard green plant?
Comments (4)Some farmers use mustard plants as a green manure. When they plow them under, they may miss some (like along the fence lines) that flower and go to seed. The birds eat them, moisten and soften them in their digestive tract, and then drop them on your soil with a little blob of manure, and they sprout. If you deliberately want to grow condiment-type mustard, go to a grocery that sells bulk spices (Fred Meyer/Kroger) or a health food store and buy a spoonful of seed. Most of these natural seeds will sprout. Then you'll know what you've got.

Comments (4)To me, it's a little milder. I really, really like all mustard greens, and I really, really like Red Giant. It is also visually stunning in the winter garden, if you care about that kind of thing ... in addition to steaming it, we also rip some to add to our salads. Very attractive.
