Mizuna Mustard
The Mustard Mizuna Siu Cai, Xiu Cai, 'Brassica rapa', is the perfect mustard green with its mild, sweet, earthy, mustardy 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. ... details

Pole Tomatoes prefer well drained soil that is high in organic matter. Tomatoes need at least 1 inch of water a week. Soak to depth of 6 to 10 inches when watering. Prune the intermediate tomatoes in order to keep a single stem. |
