How to plant:
- Propagate by seed
- Germination temperature
- Days to emergence: 5 to 7
- Seed can be saved for 5 years
Maintenance and care:
- Seeds germinate quickly even in cold soil. Plant as soon as soil can be worked in spring
- Avoid planting after other cabbage family crops.
- Plant ¼ inch deep and 1 inch apart in rows, or broadcast alone or mixed with other greens. Gradually thin to 6-inch spacings using thinnings for salads.
- Make new plantings every 2 to 3 weeks for a continuous supply until about a month before your average first frost date.
- Slow bolting by reducing heat and moisture stress. Provide some shade for warm-season plantings.
- Fast-growing plants are good for intercropping and relay cropping.
- Often self-seeds. Is self-sterile and requires insects for pollination. Will not cross with other members of the mustard family.
