Plant in the spring, after the last average frost date or later into the spring when soil temperatures are warmer. The Funny Valentine Blends are used for pots, baskets, climbing up fences, trellises and as a ground over. They make a tremendous fast growing screen.

Mizuna The Mustard Mizuna Siu Cai, Xiu Cai, 'Brassica rapa', is the perfect mustard green with its mild, sweet, earthy, mustard flavor that tolerates cold and heat. It is so attractive that it is used as an ornamental. Commonly used as a graceful bedding plant that "floats" in the flower beds and as a sweet, mild mustard green that is ready to harvest in 3 weeks. Mizuna looks are deceptive; it is a beautiful graceful prolific branching plant that will also germinate under cold and wet spring conditions. It is a common mixture in Mesclun salads and it is also steamed and stir-fried. Plant as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring. Successive plantings every 3 weeks will provide for continuous harvest. In mild climates, plant in the late fall for winter harvest. Mizuna prefers light, moist, loamy soils with lots of organic matter. You can harvest a few leaves from each plant anytime after germination. |
