About Mustard Vegetable Seeds

Mustard Vegetable Seeds grow in full sun, partial shade positions. Harvest begins around 30 to 60 days or 40 days from sowing. The figures below are the ones on the packets in this group; each product page carries the exact numbers for that variety.

When to plant

Plant in cool season. Sow directly where the plants are to grow; this variety does not transplant happily. Hardy in zones 2 to 10 — your local frost dates decide the exact week.

Where to plant

Choose a site in full sun, partial shade. Water needs are average once the plants are established. Free-draining soil matters more than rich soil; seed sown into ground that stays wet rots before it germinates. Allow 6 inches or 8 to 12 inches between plants so air can move between them.

How to plant

Sow 1/2 inch or 1/4 inch deep, spaced 6 inches or 8 to 12 inches apart. Water gently to settle the soil, then keep the surface evenly moist until seedlings or shoots appear.

How to care

Keep watering average, at the base of the plant rather than over the leaves. Grown as an annual, so plan to sow again next season. Expect to start harvesting around 30 to 60 days or 40 days after sowing.
