This non-GMO, open-pollinated heirloom offers a versatile harvest: pick young leaves for fresh salads or let them develop into larger greens for skillet dishes, soups, and Southern-style preparations. Its gentler mustard flavor makes it a welcoming choice for gardeners who enjoy leafy greens without an intensely peppery bite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBaby leaves can be ready in about 21 days, with mature greens developing in approximately 45 days under suitable growing conditions.

A loose seedbed helps small seeds establish without competing with large clods or weeds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProvide suitable light:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grow in sun to partial shade.
